Wesley's Notes for Numbers 9:20

9:18 The motion or stay of the cloud is fitly called the command of God, because it was a signification of God's will and their duty.

9:19 The charge - That is, the command of God, that they should stay as long as the cloud stayed.

9:21 When the cloud abode - This is repeated again and again, because it was a constant miracle, and because it is a matter we should take particular notice of, as highly significant and instructive. It is mentioned long after by David, #Psa 105:39|, and by the people of God after their captivity, #Neh 9:19|. And the guidance of this cloud is spoken of, as signifying the guidance of the Blessed Spirit, #Isa 63:14|. The Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest, and so didst thou lead the people. And thus, in effect, does he guide, all those, who commit their ways unto the Lord. So that they may well say, Father, thy will be done! Dispose of me and mine as thou pleasest. Here I am, waiting on my God, to journey and rest at the commandment of the Lord. What thou wilt, and where thou wilt: only let me be thine, and always in the way of my duty.
