The Zohar describes Moses' ascent on Mount Sinai.
"The glory of G-d appeared like a consuming fire on the mountain top"
According to the commentary of Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra, Moses was able to ascend the mountain notiwthstanding this fire, for: "Moses went into the cloud" as if he was donning a garment and then, wrapped in the cloud, he was then able to approach the fire and climb to the top of the mountain. |
