4. Mosebok 9,20

18 På Herrens befaling brøt israelittene opp, og på hans befaling slo de leir. Så lenge skyen ble over tabernaklet, forble de i leiren.

19 Selv når skyen ble over tabernaklet i mange dager, adlød israelittene Herrens befaling og brøt ikke opp.

Hvis skyen noen ganger var over tabernaklet bare noen få dager, slo de leir på Herrens befaling, og så brøt de opp på hans befaling.

21 Hvis skyen bare ble fra kveld til morgen, når den løftet seg om morgenen, brøt de opp. Enten det var dag eller natt, når skyen løftet seg, brøt de opp.

22 Enten det var to dager, en måned eller et år at skyen ble over tabernaklet, forble israelittene i leiren og brøt ikke opp; men når den løftet seg, brøt de opp.

Her forteller Bibelen en historie om noen andre. Spør deg selv hva den kan si oss i dag. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
