Exodus 40:34–38

The Glory of the Lord

34 uThen the vcloud covered the tent of meeting, and wthe glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses xwas not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and ythe glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 zThroughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. 37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle aby day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.


Numbers 9:15–23

The Cloud Covering the Tabernacle

15 fOn the day that the tabernacle was set up, the gcloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony. And at evening it was over the tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning. 16 So it was always: hthe cloud covered it by day1 and the appearance of fire by night. 17 And whenever the cloud ilifted 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. 18 jAt the command of the Lord the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the Lord they camped. As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. 19 Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the people of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and did not set out. 20 Sometimes 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. 21 And 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. 22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. 23 At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by Moses.
