Exodus 40:33-37 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

33. Then Moses set up the courtyard around the holy tent and altar. He put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses completed the work.

34. Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.

35. Moses couldn't enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.

36. The people of Israel continued their travels. When the cloud lifted from above the holy tent, they started out.

37. But if the cloud didn't lift, they did not start out. They stayed until the day it lifted.
