• Num 9:15-23 : 15 On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, which is the tent of the testimony. In the evening, it appeared above the tabernacle as something like fire until morning. 16 This was always the case: the cloud would cover it by day, and at night it would appear as fire. 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the tent, the people of Israel would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the people of Israel would camp. 18 At the command of the LORD, the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the LORD, they camped. As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained camped. 19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the people of Israel kept the LORD’s command and did not set out. 20 Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days. In that case, they camped at the LORD's command and then set out at the LORD's command. 21 Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, when the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether it remained for two days, a month, or longer, as long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, the people of Israel remained camped and did not set out. But when it lifted, they set out. 23 At the command of the LORD, they camped, and at the command of the LORD, they set out. They kept the LORD's charge according to the command of the LORD given through Moses.
