Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.
Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.

The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.
