Und wenn es auch vorkam, daß die Wolke nur vom Abend bis zum Morgen blieb und sich alsdann erhob, so zogen sie; und wenn sie sich des Tages oder des Nachts erhob, so zogen sie auch.
Und geschah es, daß die Wolke da war vom Abend bis an den Morgen, und die Wolke erhob sich am Morgen, so brachen sie auf; oder einen Tag und eine Nacht, und die Wolke erhob sich, so brachen sie auf;

abode: Heb. was, Nehemiah 9:12, Nehemiah 9:19
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.
