Contextual Overview
15 Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, - and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning, 16 Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, - and an appearance of fire, by night; 17 but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, - and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped: 18 at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, - all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped. 19 And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward. 20 And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward. 21 And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward. 22 Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, - but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward. 23 At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward, - the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days,.... Or years, for days are sometimes put for years, and in some places the cloud tarried several years; or however, if it stayed but a month or a year in any place, as in Numbers 9:22;
then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not; they not only kept watching when it would move, or set sentinels for that purpose to observe it, but they kept the charge, order, or commandment, which the tarrying of the cloud was a token of, and did not attempt to proceed in their journey until they had an intimation so to do by its motion; and all this while, likewise, the tabernacle being up, they observed all the precepts and ordinances of the Lord in the service of it.
