Numbers 9:17-23

17 1Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp.

18At the 2command of the Lord the sons of Israel would set out, and at the 3command of the Lord they would camp; 4as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped.

19Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, 5the sons of Israel would comply with the Lord’s ordinance and not set out.

20If 6sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, 7in accordance with the 8command of the Lord they remained camped. Then in accordance with the 9command of the Lord they set out.

21If 10sometimes the cloud 11remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning they would set out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.

22Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but 12when it was lifted, they did set out.

23 13At the 14command of the Lord they camped, and at the 15command of the Lord they set out; they did what the Lord required, in accordance with the 16command of the Lord through Moses.
