Numbers 9:19

The Cloud above the Tabernacle

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.19Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.20Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.
