Now it came to pass on the twentieth of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.

So they departed from the mountain of Jehovah on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah set out before them for the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.

And the cloud of Jehovah was above them by day when they set out from the camp.

Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel would set out in all their journeys.

For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannimeduth. A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

Stir up Your strength before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh and come and save us!

They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them; even by the springs of water He will guide them.

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

Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.

And He said, My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

And he said unto Him, If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye.

You will lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

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

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

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