34 The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

35 And Moses was not able to come in to the tent of appointment, for the cloud settled down upon it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the dwelling.

35 Moses (AA)was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 Throughout all their journeys (AB)whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

36 The Israelites set out whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle throughout all the stages of their journey.(L)

36 Whenever the cloud was lifted up from the tent, the Israelis would set out on their journey,

37 And if the cloud shall not go up, they will not remove till the day it went up.
