Exodus 40:34-38

34 And the cloud covered the tent of assembly, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

35 And Moses was unable to go into the tent of assembly because the cloud settled on it and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.

36 And when the cloud was lifted from the tabernacle, the {Israelites} set out on all their journeys.

37 But if the cloud was not lifted, they did not set out until the day of its being lifted.

38 For the cloud of Yahweh [was] on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it [by] night before the eyes of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
