By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud. It guided them on their way. At night he led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light. So they could travel by day or at night.The pillar of cloud didn’t leave its place in front of the people during the day. And the pillar of fire didn’t leave its place at night.

By day you led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud. At night you led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light to show them the way you wanted them to go.

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.Moses couldn’t enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.The Israelites continued their travels. Whenever the cloud lifted from above the holy tent, they started out.But if the cloud didn’t lift, they did not start out. They stayed until the day it lifted.So the cloud of the Lord was above the holy tent during the day. Fire was in the cloud at night. All the Israelites could see the cloud during all their travels.

The holy tent was set up. It was the tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept. On the day it was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening until morning the cloud above the tent looked like fire.That’s what continued to happen. The cloud covered the tent. At night the cloud looked like fire.When the cloud lifted from its place above the tent, the Israelites started out. Where the cloud settled, the Israelites camped.When the Lord gave the command, the Israelites started out. And when he gave the command, they camped. As long as the cloud stayed above the holy tent, they remained in camp.Sometimes the cloud remained above the tent for a long time. Then the Israelites obeyed the Lord’ s order. They didn’t start out.Sometimes the cloud was above the tent for only a few days. When the Lord would give the command, they would camp. And when he would give the command, they would start out.Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening until morning. When it lifted in the morning, they started out. It didn’t matter whether it was day or night. When the cloud lifted, the people started out.It didn’t matter whether the cloud stayed above the holy tent for two days or a month or a year. The Israelites would remain in camp. They wouldn’t start out. But when the cloud lifted, they would start out.

Just look at Zion! It’s the city where we celebrate our regular feasts. Turn your eyes toward Jerusalem. It will be a peaceful place to live in. It will be like a tent that will never be moved. Its stakes will never be pulled up. None of its ropes will be broken.

He guided them with the cloud during the day. He led them with the light of a fire all night long.

The time is almost here for me to make everything right. It is not far away. The time for me to save you will not be put off. I will save the city of Zion. I will bring honor to Israel.

‘ I will guard this city and save it. I will do it for myself. And I will do it for my servant David.’ ”

Near the end of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud. He saw the Egyptian army and threw it into a panic.

“ Make a total of 11 curtains out of goat hair to put over the holy tent.

The angel of God had been traveling in front of Israel’s army. Now he moved back and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved away from in front of them. Now it stood behind them.It came between the armies of Egypt and Israel. All through the night the cloud brought darkness to one side and light to the other. Neither army went near the other all night long.

And I myself will be like a wall of fire around it,’ announces the Lord.‘ I will be the city’s glory.’“ Israel, I have scattered you,” announces the Lord.“ I have used the power of the four winds of heaven to do it. Come quickly! Run away from the land of the north,” announces the Lord.“ Come, people of Zion! Escape, you who live in Babylon!”The Lord rules over all. His angel says to Israel,“ The Glorious One has sent me to punish the nations that have robbed you of everything. That’s because anyone who hurts you hurts those the Lord loves and guards.So I will raise my powerful hand to strike down your enemies. Their own slaves will rob them of everything. Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me.“‘ People of Zion, shout and be glad! I am coming to live among you,’ announces the Lord.

“ Make ten curtains out of finely twisted linen for the holy tent. Make them with blue, purple and bright red yarn. Have a skilled worker sew cherubim into the pattern.

He loves the city of Zion more than all the other places where the people of Jacob live.City of God, the Lord says glorious things about you.

Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”

They will live in a peaceful land. Their homes will be secure. They will enjoy peace and quiet.

I know he’s ready to save those who have respect for him. Then his glory can be seen in our land.

Praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord with all my heart. I will praise him where honest people gather for worship.

The Lord says to me,“ A powerful lion stands over its food and growls. A lot of shepherds can be brought together to drive it away. But the lion is not frightened by their shouts. It is not upset by the noise they make. In the same way, I will come down from heaven. I will fight on Mount Zion and on its hills. Nothing will drive me away. I am the Lord who rules over all.Like a bird hovering over its nest, I will guard Jerusalem. I will keep it safe. I will‘ pass over’ it and save it. I am the Lord who rules over all.”

“ People of Jerusalem, get up. Shine, because your light has come. The glory of the Lord will shine on you.

God is highly respected among his holy angels. He’s more wonderful than all those who are around him.

Where two or three people gather in my name, I am there with them.”
