Numbers 9:15-23

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony; and at evening there was upon the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

¹⁶ So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁷ And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

¹⁸ At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched camp. As long as the cloud stayed upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents;

¹⁹ and when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and journeyed not.

²⁰ And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of the Lord they stayed in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.

²¹ And so it was, when the cloud tarried from evening unto the morning, and the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

²² Or whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel remained in their tents and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

²³ At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
