We are now in Perek Shira, in an interesting pasuk in Iyov , that is the song of the Ananei HaKavod/ Clouds of Glory (There are actually two versions of the song of an Ananeh Hakavod, today w e're going to discuss this one (Iyov 37,11 ): עַנְנֵי כָּבוֹד אוֹמְרִים. אַף בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרוֹ The Clouds of Glory say,"Biri" causes the clouds to trouble themselves, they spread Anan/the cloud its light. What exactly is this cryptic pasuk saying and why is it the song of the Ananei Hakavod? The first glimpse we get comes from Rashi, who tells us the name the angel that is appointed to clouds is Biri . So this angel called Biri is in charge of the clouds- in this case, referring to the seven Clouds of Glory/the Ananei Hakavod, that surround Bnei Yisrael from four sides (it says in the Devarim , 32,10 Yisovevenu/they were surrounded) , with a fifth cloud on top to provide shade, a 6th one that brought them light (They didn't need any light from candles or anything else, they had the light of the cloud) and a 7th cloud that would go ahead of them and smooth everything out to make it easier for them to walk ( Baraita D'Melechet HaMishkan פרק . יד These are wonders of the clouds that were carrying the Jewish people, and this is the song on this miracle. Af Biri , this angel in charge of the clouds, Yatriach Av/would trouble the clouds, and make the clouds work hard. . They were carrying a few million people through the desert, like a mother carries its suckling child. And not only were they working hard carrying the Jewish people, Yaffitz Anan Oro/ they were also working hard bringing light upon the Jewish people. The sefer Pi Eliyahu points out that there are seven words in this pasuk , to correspond to the seven Clouds of Glory. The name of the angel is Biri . What does Biri mean? In Aramaic Bar is ben , my child. So the name of the angel in charge of the Ananei Hakavod , is My child, because the purpose of the Clouds of Glory is to make the Jewish people realize that they are children, being carried. Rashi brings down the famous, beautiful mashal by the episode with Amalek, where it says the Jewish people asked, Hayesh Hashem Bekirbenu im Ayin/ Is God with us, or is He nothing? Because they asked that question, God threw them down, and Amalek came to attack. Rashi there gives a mashal of a father who is carrying his son on his shoulders. Whatever the son asks for, he gives him. Then the boy asks somebody, Where's my father? The father says, You want to know where I am? and he throws the boy off his shoulders, and a dog bites him. So, the clouds that we're talking about here are these Clouds of Glory that are there for God's children. By the sin of the spies in Devarim א , when Moshe Rabbeinu describes the sin, he says, You don't believe in this , which the Or HaChaim HaKadosh explains as, You don't believe that God is your loving father, and you are His children, and He's carrying you through the desert on these clouds. That's the song of the Clouds of Glory. אַף בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרו / The angel in charge of My son causes the clouds to trouble themselves to carry the Jewish people and cause the cloud to light up the way. And lest one think that this cloud was only then, when Rav Yerucham Levovitz talks about the Ananei Hakavod , he cites a Sifri that says that, " Follow Hashem your God, Zeh HaAnan, " referred to the Clouds of Glory that led us in the desert, and adds that we still have clouds of glory leading us, and we still have a cloud that's lighting up the way. We don't see them openly, but these clouds are still there, and we still have to hear the song of the Clouds of Glory that are protecting us, carrying us and lighting up the way for us as Jewish people, the children of God.
