21And athe Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.Exodus 40:38

The Cloud Covering the Tabernacle
15 bOn the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony. And cat evening it was over the tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning. 16So it was always: the cloud covered it by day ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew lacks by day
and the appearance of fire by night. 17And whenever the cloud elifted from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out, and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel camped. 18At the command of the Lord the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the Lord they camped. fAs long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. 19Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the people of Israel gkept the charge of the Lord and did not set out. 20Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of the Lord they remained in camp; then according to the command of the Lord they set out. 21And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning. And when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud lifted they set out. 22Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel hremained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. Numbers 14:14
14and they will tell the inhabitants of this land. iThey have heard that you, O Lord, are in the midst of this people. For you, O Lord, are seen face to face, and jyour cloud stands over them and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.Nehemiah 9:12
12By ka pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go.Isaiah 4:5-6
