(Ibid. 20) "And they journeyed from Succoth and they encamped in Eitam." Just as Eitam is a place, so, Succoth. R. Akiva said "Succoth" refers to the clouds of glory, viz. (Isaiah 4:5-6) "For all the glory shall it cover. And a succah shall it be for shade by day." This tells me only of the past. Whence do I derive (the same for) time to come? From "And a succah shall it be for shade by day," and (Ibid. 35:10) "And the redeemed of the L–rd will return, and they will come to Zion with song, the joy of the world over their heads."
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Exod. 25:3–7:) AND THIS IS THE PRIESTLY SHARE THAT YOU SHALL TAKE FROM THEM: <GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE; > BLUE, PURPLE, <AND SCARLET YARNS; FINE LINEN, GOAT HAIR, REDDENED> RAM SKINS, DOLPHIN SKINS, AND ACACIA WOOD;> OIL FOR LIGHTING, <SPICE FOR ANOINTING OIL AND FOR AROMATIC INCENSE, ONYX STONES>…. R. Judah bar Simon said: <The Holy One said to Israel:>18This necessary addition to the text comes from the parallel in Tanh., Exod. 7:5. Do not think that you are repaying me thirteen things19Presumably the thirteen types of offerings mentioned in Exod. 25:1–7; but these verses mention more than thirteen. which correspond to thirteen things which I set aside for you in Egypt. These were the following (according to Ezek. 16:10–12, 19): I CLOTHED YOU WITH EMBROIDERY, SHOD YOU WITH DOLPHIN SKIN, WRAPPED YOU IN FINE LINEN, COVERED YOU WITH SILK, ADORNED YOU WITH JEWELS, PUT BRACELETS ON YOUR ARMS, AND A CHAIN AROUND YOUR NECK; I PUT A RING ON YOUR NOSE, EARRINGS ON YOUR EARS, AND A SPLENDID CROWN UPON YOUR HEAD…. AND MY BREAD WHICH I GAVE YOU, < BREAD > OF FINE FLOUR, OIL, AND HONEY, <THIS BREAD> I GAVE YOU TO EAT. Ergo, the thirteen things which you have set aside for me correspond to (but do not repay) the thirteen things which I set aside for you in Egypt. In the age to come I am repaying you these corresponding thirteen things, those which are mentioned (in Is. 4:5–6): FOR THE LORD WILL CREATE OVER THE [WHOLE] SITE OF MOUNT ZION <AND OVER ITS ASSEMBLY A CLOUD AND SMOKE BY DAY AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF A FLAMING FIRE BY NIGHT >…. AND THERE SHALL BE A SUKKAH AS A SHADE FROM THE HEAT BY DAY….
Midrash Tanchuma
Thus the thirteen things you have set aside for Me I will consider to be repayment to Me, as David said: I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath repaid me (Ps. 13:6). However, in the world-to-come, I will reward you for the thirteen things you have set aside for Me. And the Lord will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy. And there shall be a pavilion for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain (Isa. 4:5–6). Though you have (merely) paid Me back, yet I agree that you have dealt bountifully with Me, as it is written after that: Let me sing of my well-beloved (ibid. 5:1). Hence, I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me (Ps. 13:6).
