Exodus 40:34-38

Complete Jewish Bible

(Maftir) ³⁴ Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Adonai filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ Moshe was unable to enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud remained on it, and the glory of Adonai filled the tabernacle.

³⁶ Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Isra’el continued with all their travels. ³⁷ But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not travel onward until the day when it was taken up. ³⁸ For the cloud of Adonai was above the tabernacle during the day, and fire was in [the cloud] at night, so that all the house of Isra’el could see it throughout all their travels.
