Num. 9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony; and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle until morning.
Num. 9:16 So it was always; the cloud covered it [by day,] and the appearance of fire by night.
