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 No dia em que foi armado o tabernáculo, a tenda que guarda as tábuas da aliança, a nuvem o cobriu. Desde o entardecer até o amanhecer a nuvem por cima do tabernáculo tinha a aparência de fogo.

16 Era assim que sempre acontecia: de dia a nuvem o cobria, e de noite tinha a aparência de fogo.

17 Sempre que a nuvem se levantava de cima da Tenda, os israelitas partiam; no lugar em que a nuvem descia, ali acampavam.

18 Conforme a ordem do SENHOR, os israelitas partiam e, conforme a ordem do SENHOR, acampavam. Enquanto a nuvem estivesse por cima do tabernáculo, eles permaneciam acampados.

19 Quando a nuvem ficava sobre o tabernáculo por muito tempo, os israelitas cumpriam suas responsabilidades para com o SENHOR e não partiam.
