16. That's what continued to happen. The cloud covered the tent. At night the cloud looked like fire.
17. When the cloud lifted from its place above the tent, the people of Israel started out. Where the cloud settled, the people of Israel camped.
18. When the Lord gave the command, the people of Israel started out. And when he gave the command, they camped. As long as the cloud stayed above the holy tent, they remained in camp.
