Numbers 10
“When you arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack you, sound the alarm with the trumpets. Then the Lord your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies. Blow the trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month. And blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will remind the Lord your God of his covenant with you. I am the Lord your God.”
"They marched for three days after leaving the mountain of the Lord, with the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant moving ahead of them to show them where to stop and rest. As they moved on each day, the cloud of the Lord hovered over them. And whenever the Ark set out, Moses would shout, 'Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before you!'. And when the Ark was set down, he would say, 'Return, O Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!'

Numbers 9
On the day the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire. That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire. Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped. At the LORD's command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained in camp.

Numbers 8
The Lord instructed Moses regarding making the Levites "ceremonially clean" that they would be purified and may be "ready to do the work of the Lord". The Lord said the Levites were to be "set apart from the other Israelites" and they "will be mine" and "are to be given wholly to me.. in place of the firstborn sons of Israel..and I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron to do the work at the Tent of Meeting to make atonement for them."

Numbers 6 The Lord said, "If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of separation to the Lord, ... throughout the period of his separation, he is consecrated to the Lord." Then the Lord instructed Moses and Aaron.. "This is how you are to bless the Israelites.. 'The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.' So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."
