Gill's Notes on the Bible

And [so] it was when the cloud abode from even unto the morning,.... The whole night, during which time they rested in their beds:

and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed;

whether [it was] by day or night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed; whether at morning or midnight; for sometimes, as Aben Ezra observes, they travelled in the night; whensoever their sentinels gave notice that the cloud was taken up, even though at midnight, they arose and prepared for their journey; and by this it is evident, that the appearance by day and night was the same body called the cloud, though beheld in a different view, in the daytime as a cloud, in the nighttime as fire.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 9:21. Whether - by day or by night — As the heat of the day is very severe in that same desert, the night season is sometimes chosen for the performance of a journey; though it is very likely that in the case of the Israelites this was seldom resorted to.
