Numbers 9

¹⁵On the day that the tabernacle was pitched, the cloud covered it, including the tent of the testimony, and starting in the evening there was the appearance of fire over it until morning. ¹⁶So the cloud covered it continually, and the appearance of fire at night. ¹⁷Now when the cloud lifted from the tent, the Israelites broke camp, and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the Israelites camped. ¹⁸By YHWH's command the Iraelites broke camp, and by the command of YHWH they made camp. As long as the cloud settled on the tabernacle, they camped. ¹⁹If they cloud stayed a long time on the tabernacle, for many days, then the children of Israel maintained kept watch on the service of YHWH, and did not leave. ²⁰If the cloud stayed on the tabernacle for a limited number of days, they would camp at YHWH's command, and at YHWH's command they would depart. ²¹If the cloud stayed from evening until morning, and then lifted, they would break camp in the morning. It was they same if it was a day and a night--when the cloud lifted, they departed. ²²If it was two days, or a month, or any number of days, however long the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, the Israelites camped, and did not leave, but when the cloud lifted, they left. ²³At YHWH's command they camped, and at YHWH's command they broke camp. They observed the service of YHWH at YHWH's command given by the hand of Moses.
