Contextual Overview

29 Hobab was the son of Reuel, the Midianite. (Reuel was Moses' father-in-law.) Moses said to Hobab, "We are traveling to the land that the Lord promised to give to us. Come with us and we will be good to you. The Lord has promised good things to the Israelites." 30 But Hobab answered, "No, I will not go with you. I will go back to my homeland and to my own people." 31 Then Moses said, "Please don't leave us. You know more about the desert than we do. You can be our guide. 32 If you come with us, we will share with you all the good things that the Lord gives us." 33 So they began traveling from the mountain of the Lord . The priests took the Box of the Lord 's Agreement and walked in front of the people. They carried the Holy Box for three days, looking for a place to camp. 34 The Lord 's cloud was over them every day. And when they left their camp every morning, the cloud was there to lead them. 35 When the people lifted the Holy Box to move the camp, Moses always said, "Get up, Lord ! May your enemies be scattered. May your enemies run away from you." 36 And when the Holy Box was put in its place, Moses always said, "Come back, Lord , to the millions of Israelites."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the cloud of the Lord [was] upon them by day,.... Not only upon the tabernacle, and upon the ark particularly, but it spread itself in journeying over the whole body of the people, and therefore said to be a covering to them from the heat of the sun, Psalms 105:39; as well as it was a guide unto them, and a token of the divine Presence with them, see Isaiah 4:5;

when they went out of the camp; or out of the place of their encampment, when they removed from Sinai; and appears from, hence that it was in the daytime.
