Breaking camp and traveling at night. The term is not used in Scripture, though Exodus 13:21 records that Israel followed the pillar of fire at night (compare Numbers 9:21 ). Advantages of night marches include cooler temperatures and avoidance of enemies. Troops were sometimes positioned at night for an ambush or attack (Joshua 8:3; Joshua 10:9; Judges 9:32; 1 Samuel 14:36 ).
