Nehemiah 9:19

the pillar of the cloud R.V. the pillar of cloud. In the original the construction is -As for the pillar of cloud, it departed not, &c."

from them R.V. from over them. More literally.

and the way The LXX. and Vulg. omit the -and," as if the clause stood in apposition to the one preceding; even retaining the copula, that is a possible explanation of the words.

According to the Eng. translation -and the way" is an accusative, having a verb to govern it, supplied by Zeugma from the clause -to shew them light."
