Context of Numbers 10:35

33So they left the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the Lord’s promise went ahead of them a distance of three days’ journey to find them a place to rest. 34The Lord’s ⌞column of⌟ smoke was over them by day when they moved the camp. Whenever the ark started to move, Moses would say, “Arise, O Lord! Scatter your enemies! Make those who hate you run away from you!” 36And whenever it stopped, he would say, “Return, O Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!”
