And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness.

And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, a three days' journey to provide rest for them.

And the cloud overshadowed them by day, when they departed from the camp.

And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.

For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeys.

For the end, for alternate [strains], a testimony of Asaph, A Psalm concerning the Assyrian. Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guides Joseph like a flock; You who sit upon the cherubim, manifest Yourself;

before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power, and come to deliver us.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out.

You have guided me by Your counsel, and You have taken me to Yourself with glory.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out.

And whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
