The fourteen first verses of this chapter evidently refer to
a time previous to the commencement of this book; but as
there is no evidence of a transposition, it is better to
conclude with Houbigant, that "it is enough to know, that
these books contain an account of things transacted in the
days of Moses, though not in their regular or chronological
order."

This cloud not only enlightened the Israelites, but also
protected them, and was a continual pledge of God's presence
and protection. To this manifestation of the Divine glory,
the prophet Isaiah alludes, when he says, (Isa 4:5,) "The
Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and
upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the
shining of a flaming fire by night." God is the director,
protector, and glory of his church.

Some of the Levites may have been appointed to watch the
moving of the pillar, and to give timely notice to the camp
of its beginning to stir; and this is called "keeping the
charge of the Lord." It is uncomfortable staying when God is
departed, but very safe and pleasant going, when we see God
go before us, and resting where he appoints us to rest.
