Now on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, a cloud covered it. But from the evening there was over the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Igitur die qua erectum est tabernaculum, operuit illud nubes. A vespere autem super tentorium erat quasi species ignis usque mane.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐστάθη ἡ σκηνὴ ἐκάλυψεν ἡ νεφέλη τὴν σκηνήν, τὸν οἶκον τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ τὸ ἑσπέρας ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς ὡς εἶδος πυρὸς ἕως πρωί.
Hebrew (WLC): וּבְיוֹם֙ הָקִ֣ים אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן כִּסָּ֤ה הֶֽעָנָן֙ אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן לְאֹ֖הֶל הָעֵדֻ֑ת וּבָעֶ֜רֶב יִהְיֶ֧ה עַֽל הַמִּשְׁכָּ֛ן כְּמַרְאֵה אֵ֖שׁ עַד בֹּֽקֶר

Haydock's commentary

A cloud, and fire, alternately covered the tabernacle of the covenant, which was 30 cubits long and 15 broad. The pagans, perhaps, hence took occasion to accuse the Jews of adoring the clouds. Nil præter nubis & cœli Numen adorant. (Juvenal, Sat. xiv.) (Calmet)
