And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

Verse 21 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.

Wenn die Wolke da war von Abend bis an den Morgen und sich dann erhob, so zogen sie; oder wenn sie sich des Tages oder des Nachts erhob, so zogen sie auch.
Y cuando era que la nube se detenía desde la tarde hasta la mañana, cuando a la mañana la nube se levantaba, ellos partían: o si había estado el día, y a la noche la nube se levantaba, entonces partían.
Si la nuée s'arrêtait du soir au matin, et s'élevait le matin, ils partaient. Si la nuée s'élevait après un jour et une nuit, ils partaient.
O fosse che la nuvola vi stesse dalla sera fino alla mattina, e poi si alzasse in su la mattina, essi si movevano; o fosse che, statavi un giorno ed una notte, poi si alzasse, essi parimente si movevano.
Porém, outras vezes a nuvem ficava desde a tarde até à manhã, e quando ela se alçava pela manhã, então partiam; quer de dia quer de noite alçando-se a nuvem, partiam.
有時雲彩從晚上留到早晨;早晨雲彩上升,他們就起行。無論是白天是黑夜,當雲彩上升的時候,他們就要起行。
