And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.

And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
