In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony,and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses.
So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
