33. Then Moses set up the courtyard around the Holy Tent. He put the altar for burning sacrifices in the courtyard. Then he put up the curtain at the entry to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.
34. Then the cloud covered the Meeting Tent. The greatness of the Lord filled the Holy Tent.
35. Moses could not enter the Meeting Tent. This was because the cloud had settled on it. And this was because the greatness of the Lord filled the Holy Tent.
36. When the cloud rose from the Holy Tent, the Israelites would begin to travel.
37. But as long as the cloud stayed on the Holy Tent, the people did not travel. They stayed in that place until the cloud rose.
