Numbers 9:15-23

On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle,
the tent of the covenant over the tabernacle, having the appearance of
fire.  It was always so: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of
fire by night.  Whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, then the
Israelites would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down,
there the Israelites would camp.  At the command of the LORD the
Israelites would set out, and at the command of the LORD they would camp.
As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they would remain in
camp.  Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the
Israelites would keep the charge of the LORD, and would not set out.
Sometimes the cloud would remain a few days over the tabernacle, and
according to the command of the LORD they would remain in camp; then
according to the command of the LORD they would set out.  Sometimes the
cloud would remain from evening until morning; and when the cloud lifted
in the morning, they would set out, or if it continued for a day and a
night, when the cloud lifted they would set out.  Whether it was two days,
or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the
tabernacle, resting upon it, the Israelites would remain in camp and would
not set out; but when it lifted they would set out.  At the command of the
LORD they would camp, and at the command of the LORD they would set out.
They kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by Moses.
