33 And so they set out from the mountain of Yahweh a journey of three days, with the ark of the covenant of Yahweh setting out ahead of them* three days’ journey to search out a resting place for them; 34 and the cloud of Yahweh was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 And whenever the ark was setting out Moses would say,

"Rise up, Yahweh!

May your enemies be scattered;

may the ones that hate you flee from your presence."

36 And when it rested he would say,

"Return, Yahweh,

to the countless thousands of Israel."
