At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 9 of Numbers. The cloud covers the tabernacle and serves as the signal determining when Israel should remain camped and when it should march. The duration of their stay does not depend on human preference: the people depart or remain according to the divine signal. The passage presents the wilderness as a period of continual dependence, where the community must learn to adjust its movement to God’s command.

Nach dem Wort des HERRN zogen die Kinder Israel, und nach seinem Wort lagerten sie sich. Solange die Wolke auf der Wohnung blieb, so lange lagen sie still.
Al mandato de Jehová los hijos de Israel se partían: y al mandato de Jehová asentaban el campo: todos los días que la nube estaba sobre el tabernáculo, ellos estaban quedos.
Les enfants d'Israël partaient sur l'ordre de l'Eternel, et ils campaient sur l'ordre de l'Eternel; ils campaient aussi longtemps que la nuée restait sur le tabernacle.
Al comandamento del Signore i figliuoli d’Israele si movevano, e altresì al comandamento del Signore si accampavano; e stavano accampati tutto il tempo che la nuvola stanziava sopra il Tabernacolo.
Segundo a ordem do SENHOR, os filhos de Israel partiam, e segundo a ordem do SENHOR se acampavam; todos os dias em que a nuvem parava sobre o tabernáculo, ficavam acampados.
以色列 人遵照耶和華的指示起行,也遵照耶和華的指示安營。雲彩在帳幕上停留多久,他們就留在營裏多久。
