    15And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and in the evening there was over the tabernacle the appearance of fire, until the morning.

    16So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

    17And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel set out: and in the place where the cloud stayed, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

    18At the command of the LORD the children of Israel set out, and at the command of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud stayed upon the tabernacle they remained in their tents.

    19And when the cloud lingered long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD and did not journey.

    20And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the command of the LORD they remained in their tents, and according to the command of the LORD they journeyed.

    21And so it was, when the cloud stayed from evening until the morning, and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

    22Or whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud lingered upon the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained in their tents and did not journey: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

    23At the command of the LORD they remained in the tents, and at the command of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
