Exodus 40:34-38

New International Reader's Version

The Glory of the Lord

³⁴ Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent. ³⁵ Moses couldn’t enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.

³⁶ The Israelites continued their travels. Whenever the cloud lifted from above the holy tent, they started out. ³⁷ But if the cloud didn’t lift, they did not start out. They stayed until the day it lifted. ³⁸ So the cloud of the Lord was above the holy tent during the day. Fire was in the cloud at night. All the Israelites could see the cloud during all their travels.
