The Cloud and the Fire
15 And on a day setting up the tabernacle, the cloud covered the tent of the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony; in the evening it was on the tabernacle as an appearance of fire until morning. 16 So it was[a] continually; the cloud would cover it and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud lifted up from on the tent, after that the Israelites[b] would set out, and in the place where the cloud dwelled, there the Israelites[c] camped. 18 On the command of Yahweh[d] the Israelites[e] would set out, and on the command of Yahweh[f] they encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelled on the tabernacle they encamped. 19 And when the cloud prolonged on the tabernacle many days the Israelites[g] kept the kept requirement of Yahweh and did not set out. 20 When the cloud remained[h] a number of days on the tabernacle, on the command of Yahweh[i] they encamped; and on the command of Yahweh[j] they set out. 21 When the cloud remained[k] from evening until morning, and the cloud lifted up in the morning, they would set out, or if it remained in the daytime and at night, when the cloud lifted up they set out. 22 When it was two days, a month, or a year[l] that the cloud prolonged to dwell on the tabernacle, the Israelites[m] encamped, and they did not set out; when it lifted up they set out. 23 On the command of Yahweh[n] they encamped, and on the command of Yahweh[o] they set out. They kept the requirement of Yahweh, on the command of Yahweh[p] in the hand of Moses.[q]

New King James Version
The Cloud and the Fire(A)
15 Now (B)on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud (C)covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; (D)from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud (E)was [a]taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would pitch their tents. 18 At the [b]command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey, and at the command of the Lord they would camp; (F)as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (G)kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey. 20 So it was, when the cloud was above the tabernacle a few days: according to the command of the Lord they would remain encamped, and according to the command of the Lord they would journey. 21 So it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning: when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they would journey; whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (H)would remain encamped and not journey; but when it was taken up, they would journey. 23 At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed; they (I)kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
