On the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony.So the Israelites set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran.This was the first time they set out on their journey according to the commandment of the LORD, by the authority of Moses.
So they traveled from the mountain of the LORD three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD was traveling before them during the three days’ journey, to find a resting place for them.
