Exodus 40:34

The outside of it; this cloud was the same with the pillar of cloud that went before the Israelites, as soon almost as they came out of Egypt; and led them through the Red sea, and conducted them to Mount Sinai; only it now appeared in a different form, not erect as a pillar, but more expanded, so as to cover the tabernacle without;

35 de maneira que Moisés não podia entrar na tenda da revelação, porquanto a nuvem repousava sobre ela, e a glória do Senhor enchia o tabernáculo.

36 Quando, pois, a nuvem se levantava de sobre o tabernáculo, prosseguiam os filhos de Israel, em todas as suas jornadas;
