Numbers 10:35

33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

36 And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
