Exodus 40:34-38

Expanded Bible

The Cloud over the Holy Tent

³⁴ Then the cloud covered the Meeting Tent [^Crepresenting God’s presence], and the glory of the Lord filled the Holy Tent [^Crepresenting his manifest presence]. ³⁵ Moses could not enter the Meeting Tent, because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle].

³⁶ When the cloud rose from the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle], the Israelites would begin to travel, ³⁷ but as long as the cloud ·stayed on the Holy Tent [^Ldid not rise], they did not travel. They stayed in that place until the cloud rose. ³⁸ So the cloud of the Lord was over the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] during the day, and there was a fire in the cloud at night. So all the ·Israelites [^Lhouse of Israel] could see the cloud while they traveled.
