4. Mosebok 9,21

Guidance and decisions

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

20 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.

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.

23 På Herrens befaling slo de leir, og på Herrens befaling brøt de opp. De adlød Herrens instruksjoner, i samsvar med hans befaling gjennom Moses.
