Y cuando era que la nube se detenía desde la tarde hasta la mañana, cuando á la mañana la nube se levantaba, ellos partían: ó si había estado el día, y á la noche la nube se levantaba, entonces partían.
Y sucedía que cuando la nube se detenía desde la tarde hasta la mañana, y que la nube era levantada en la mañana, entonces partían; y cuando la nube se levantaba, ya fuese de día o de noche, ellos partían.
Y era que cuando la nube se detenía desde la tarde hasta la mañana, y a la mañana la nube se levantaba, ellos partían; o si había estado el día, y a la noche la nube se levantaba, entonces partían.

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.
