Gill's Notes on the Bible

Or [whether it were] two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle,.... Sometimes it tarried but half a day, sometimes a whole day, sometimes two days, at other times a whole month, and even a year; a full year, as the Targum of Jonathan and Aben Ezra; or a longer time, as the Vulgate Latin version, for in one place it tarried eighteen years, as Maimonides says g; some say h nineteen years, as in Kadeshbarnea:

remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not; so that, as the same writer observes, it was not because the children of Israel lost their way in the wilderness and wandered about, not knowing where they were, or which way they should go; hence the Arabians call the wilderness, the wilderness of wandering, nor that they were so long wandering in it as forty years, but because it was the will of God that should stay so long at one place, and so long at another, whereby their stay in it was protracted to such a length of time, according to his sovereign will:

but when it was taken up they journeyed; though they had continued ever so long, and their situation ever so agreeable.

g Moreh Nevoch. par. 2. c. 50. p. 512. h Seder Olam Rabba, c. 8. p. 24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A year - literally, “days,” idiomatically a year Leviticus 25:29, an expression equivalent to “a full period,” though not necessarily the period of a year.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 9:22. Two days - a month - a year — It was by the Divine counsel alone that they were directed in all their peregrinations: and from the above words we see that their times of tarrying at different stations were very unequal.
