18 Les enfants d’Israël partaient sur l’ordre de l’Éternel, et ils campaient sur l’ordre de l’Éternel; ils campaient aussi longtemps que la nuée restait sur le tabernacle.

19 Quand la nuée restait longtemps sur le tabernacle, les enfants d’Israël obéissaient au commandement de l’Éternel, et ne partaient point.

20 Quand la nuée restait peu de jours sur le tabernacle, ils campaient sur l’ordre de l’Éternel, et ils partaient sur l’ordre de l’Éternel.

21 Si la nuée s’arrêtait du soir au matin, et s’élevait le matin, ils partaient. Si la nuée s’élevait après un jour et une nuit, ils partaient.

22 Si la nuée s’arrêtait sur le tabernacle deux jours, ou un mois, ou une année, les enfants d’Israël restaient campés, et ne partaient point; et quand elle s’élevait, ils partaient.
