מראה־מקום אויף בראשית 2:6

6And if one would ask, "And is it not that yekhasseh [will cover] and yeoafef [will fly] that are before you (in Isaiah 6:2) are in the future tense [even though the context shows that it is actually something that already happened]" — we would answer that it is the way of Scripture to place the future tense in place of the past in a case when it is speaking about something that happens continuously. For example: But a mist would arise [ya'aleh] (Genesis 2:6); according to the word of the Lord did they encamp [yachanu] (Numbers 9:20), and that whole section.
