The Cloud on the Tabernacle
15 Now on athe day that the tabernacle was erected, bthe cloud covered the tabernacle, the ctent of the testimony, and din the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle until morning. 16That is how it was continuously; ethe cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 fWhenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp. 18At the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord the sons of Israel would set out, and at the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord they would camp; ias long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped. 19Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, ▼▼Lit and the
the sons of Israel would comply with the Lord’s ordinance and not set out. 20If ▼▼Lit it was that
sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, lin accordance with the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord they remained camped. Then in accordance with the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord they set out. 21If ▼▼Lit it was that
sometimes the cloud ▼▼Lit was
remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning they would set out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out. 22Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but qwhen it was lifted, they did set out. 23 rAt the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord they camped, and at the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord they set out; they did what the Lord required, in accordance with the ▼▼Lit mouth
command of the Lord through Moses.
