“Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.”
Whether it was two days or a month or a longer time that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, resting upon it, the Israelites remained in camp and did not set out; but when it lifted, they set out — the summary verse encompasses the full spectrum from overnight to months-long stays. The principle remains constant: the cloud's settlement equals encampment; the cloud's lifting equals departure. No human preference or schedule overrides the cloud's movements.
