ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף ישעיהו 4:5

Exodus Rabbah 50, writes "G-d said to Israel: you have made for Me a tabernacle of goats' curtains, so I will protect you in the future, as it says in Isaiah 4,5, "and the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion and upon the assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and a shining flame of fire by night, for on all the glory shall be a Divine cover. Indeed, over all the glory shall hang a canopy which will serve as a pavilion for shade from heat by day and as a shelter for protection from drenching rain." The Midrash continues in this vein, promising the Jewish people rewards corresponding to the holy ark, the menorah etc.
