Traveling in the wilderness was not simple. The nation was guided by the clouds of Glory. When the clouds of Glory would depart from a top of the Tabernacle, that signaled it was time to go and the nation decamped and began to move. Where to? No one knew ahead of time. Wherever the cloud settled, that is where the next encampment was. When we examine this system of traveling, we find incredible lessons. On a basic level, it shows us the degree of commitment that the nation had to God. On a deeper level, it shows us the essence of the 40 years in the wilderness, and the nature of our navigation throughout the challenges and conflicts of our lives.
