Compare all
31 So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can1 be our aeyes.  
32 And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that awhatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.”  
33 So they departed from athe mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord bwent before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.  
34 And athe cloud of the Lord was above them by day when they went out from the camp.  
35 So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:
a“Rise up, O Lord!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You.”  
36 And when it rested, he said:
“Return, O Lord,
To the many thousands of Israel.”

Numbers 10:33

Three days - With continued journeys; only it seems probable, that the cloud made little pauses that they might have time for sleep and necessary refreshments. The ark went before them - Altho' in their stations it was in the middle, yet in their marches it went before them; and the cloud was constantly over the ark whether it stood or went; therefore the ark is said to go before and direct them, not as if the ark could be seen of all the camps, which being carried only upon mens shoulders was impossible; but because the cloud, which always attended upon the ark, and did, together with the ark, constitute, in a manner, one sign of God's presence, did lead and direct them. To search out - A metaphorical expression, for discovering to them; for the ark could not search, and God, who knew all places and things, needed not to search.
