28Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of testimony, and the tabernacle was filled with the Lord's glory.

29But Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of testimony because the cloud overshadowed it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

30Whenever the cloud ascended from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their belongings.

31But if the cloud did not ascend, they did not prepare to depart until the cloud ascended.

32For before all Israel, throughout all their journeys, the cloud was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night.
