Numbers 9:17

The Cloud above the Tabernacle

16It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.17Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.18At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.
