Numbers 9:17-23

17 And whenever the cloud a lifted from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out, and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel camped. 18 At the command of the  Lord the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the  Lord they camped. b As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. 19 Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the people of Israel c kept the charge of the  Lord and did not set out. 20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of the  Lord they remained in camp; then according to the command of the  Lord they set out. 21 And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning. And when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud lifted they set out. 22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel d remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. 23 At the command of the  Lord they camped, and at the command of the  Lord they set out. e They kept the charge of the  Lord, at the command of the  Lord by Moses.
