The Glory of the Lord

³⁴Then the cloud^(A) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory^(B) of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory^(C) of the Lord filled the tabernacle.^(D)

³⁶In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;^(E) ³⁷but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. ³⁸So the cloud^(F) of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
