Números 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 9:17

And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle
Or went up from it, higher than it was before, yet not out of sight, but hung as it were hovering in the air over the tabernacle, but at some distance from it; this was done by the Lord himself:

then after that the children of Israel journeyed;
as soon as they saw the cloud moving upwards, the Levites took down the tabernacle, and each took their post assigned them in the carriage of it, and the priests blew their trumpets mentioned in ( Numbers 10:2 Numbers 10:4 Numbers 10:8-10 ) , and the whole camp moved and marched on in their journey:

and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel
pitched their tents;
when it stopped and remained without any motion, it was a signal to the children of Israel to stop also, and to set up the tabernacle, and pitch their tents about it by their standards, and according to the order of encampment which had been given them.

Números 9:17 In-Context

15 El día en que se armó el santuario, es decir, la Tienda del pacto, la nube lo cubrió, y durante toda la noche cobró apariencia de fuego.

16 Así sucedía siempre: de día la nube cubría el santuario, mientras que de noche cobraba apariencia de fuego.

17 Cada vez que la nube se levantaba de la Tienda, los israelitas se ponían en marcha; y donde la nube se detenía, allí acampaban.

18 Dependiendo de lo que el SEÑOR les indicara, los israelitas se ponían en marcha o acampaban; y todo el tiempo que la nube reposaba sobre el santuario, se quedaban allí.

19 No importaba que se quedara muchos días sobre el santuario; los israelitas obedecían el mandamiento del SEÑOR y no abandonaban el lugar.
