Numbers 9:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 It was always so: during the day the cloud covered the tabernacle and at night had the appearance of fire. 17 Whenever the cloud rose from the tent, the Israelites would break camp; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites would pitch camp.(A) 18 At the direction of the Lord the Israelites broke camp, and at the Lord’s direction they pitched camp.(B) As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained in camp.
