15. On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16. So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17. Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel travelled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
18. At the commandment of the Lord, the children of Israel travelled, and at the commandment of the Lord they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
19. When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the Lord’s command, and didn’t travel.
