Exodus 40:31-38

31 Moshe, Aharon, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

32 When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moshe.

33 He raised up the court around the tent and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moshe finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

35 Moshe wasn't able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD's glory filled the tent.

36 When the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the children of Yisra'el went onward, throughout all their journeys;

37 but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel until the day that it was taken up.

38 For the cloud of the LORD was on the tent by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Yisra'el, throughout all their journeys.
