Exodus 13:22

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day
It always appeared in the daytime, and was a guide and shelter: nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people;
this continued till they came through the wilderness to the borders of the land of Canaan, when they needed it no longer, and then it left them; for when they passed over Jordan the ark went before them, ( Joshua 3:6 ) .

21 Forsooth the Lord went before them to show them the way, by day in a pillar of cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire, that he should be leader of the way in ever either time (so that he would be their leader on the way at all times);
