Numbers 9
Israel keeps the Passover in the wilderness, with a second Passover a month later for anyone unclean or away. The cloud covers the tabernacle by day and looks like fire by night; when it lifts they set out, and when it settles they camp.

- Textually stated
The cloud was over the Tabernacle by day and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all Israel; the tribes camped round the tent, each by its standard.
Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15–16; Numbers 2:2. How the cloud and the fire looked is not described; the view shows them as a column over the tent.
