Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year,.... Which was the twentieth of the month Ijar, in the second year of the coming of the Israelites out of Egypt; who, as it appears from hence, compared with Exodus 19:1; had been in the wilderness of Sinai twelve months wanting ten days; so Jarchi and other Jewish writers m, with whom Aben Ezra agrees, who says it was near a year:
that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony; that part of the tabernacle where the ark of the testimony stood, even the most holy place, over which the cloud was, the token of the divine Presence, and which it covered; but now was taken up from it, and went up higher above it, and was a signal for the motion of the camps of Israel to set forward in their journey towards Canaan's land.
m Seder Olam Rabba, c. 8. p. 23. Abarbinel, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
At this point commences the second great division of the book, extending to the close of Numbers 14:0. The remaining verses of the present chapter narrate the actual break up of the camp at Sinai and the order of the march.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 10:11. The twentieth day of the second month — The Israelites had lain encamped in the wilderness of Sinai about eleven months and twenty days; compare Exodus 19:1 with this verse. They now received the order of God to decamp, and proceed towards the promised land; and therefore the Samaritan introduces at this place the words which we find in Deuteronomy 1:6-8: "The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying: Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount, turn and take your journey," &c.
