And when {H6310} the cloud {H6051} was taken up {H5927} from the tabernacle {H168}, then after {H310} that the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} journeyed {H5265}: and in the place {H4725} where the cloud {H6051} abode {H7931}, there the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} pitched their tents {H2583}.
