Numbers 9:15-22
The holy tent was set up. It was the tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept. On the day it was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening until morning the cloud above the tent looked like fire.That’s what continued to happen. The cloud covered the tent. At night the cloud looked like fire.When the cloud lifted from its place above the tent, the Israelites started out. Where the cloud settled, the Israelites camped.When the Lord gave the command, the Israelites started out. And when he gave the command, they camped. As long as the cloud stayed above the holy tent, they remained in camp.Sometimes the cloud remained above the tent for a long time. Then the Israelites obeyed the Lord’ s order. They didn’t start out.Sometimes the cloud was above the tent for only a few days. When the Lord would give the command, they would camp. And when he would give the command, they would start out.Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening until morning. When it lifted in the morning, they started out. It didn’t matter whether it was day or night. When the cloud lifted, the people started out.It didn’t matter whether the cloud stayed above the holy tent for two days or a month or a year. The Israelites would remain in camp. They wouldn’t start out. But when the cloud lifted, they would start out.
