21. Sometimes the cloud stayed only from dusk until dawn; when the cloud lifted the next morning, the people moved. When the cloud lifted, day or night, the people moved.
22. The cloud might stay over the Tent for two days, a month, or a year. As long as it stayed, the people camped, but when it lifted, they moved.
23. At the Lord’s command the people camped, and at his command they moved. They obeyed the Lord’s order that he commanded through Moses.
