Numbers 9:19-22

19Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, 1the sons of Israel would comply with the Lord’s ordinance and not set out.

20If 2sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, 3in accordance with the 4command of the Lord they remained camped. Then in accordance with the 5command of the Lord they set out.

21If 6sometimes the cloud 7remained 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 8when it was lifted, they did set out.
