“And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.”
Sometimes the cloud would rest over the tabernacle for only a few days; then according to the command of the LORD they would set out — the opposite scenario: brief encampments require readiness for rapid departure. The flexibility required (remaining days or weeks; departing immediately) demands spiritual attentiveness. Israel cannot sleep spiritually; the cloud demands constant, flexible obedience.
