Numbers 9:15-21 Now on the day when the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the tabernacle; the house of the testimony: and in the evening there was over the tabernacle an appearance like that of fire, which continued till the morning.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Now on the day when the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the tabernacle; the house of the testimony: and in the evening there was over the tabernacle an appearance like that of fire, which continued till the morning. ¹⁶ Thus it was continually. The cloud covered it by day: and there was an appearance of fire during the night. ¹⁷ And when the cloud ascended from the tabernacle, the Israelites thereupon began their march; and at what place soever the cloud halted there the Israelites encamped. ¹⁸ By the command of the Lord the Israelites were to encamp, and by the command of the Lord, they were to march. All the time the cloud overshadowed the tabernacle, the Israelites were to continue encamped. ¹⁹ And when the cloud was continued over the tabernacle many days, the Israelites were to keep the watch of their God, and not remove. ²⁰ And such was to be the case when the cloud overshadowed the tabernacle but a few days. At the command of the Lord, they were to encamp; and at the command of the Lord, they were to march. ²¹ And this was to be the case when the cloud was from evening till morning. When the cloud ascended in the morning, they were to take up their march, whether it was day or night.
