וַיְכַס הֶעָנָן אֶת־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּכְבוֹד יְהֹוָה מָלֵא אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Adonoy filled the mishkon.

וְלֹא־יָכֹל מֹשֶׁה לָבוֹא אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד כִּֽי־שָׁכַן עָלָיו הֶעָנָן וּכְבוֹד יְהֹוָה מָלֵא אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
Moshe was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of Adonoy filled the mishkon.

Rashi
וּבְהֵעָלוֹת הֶֽעָנָן מֵעַל הַמִּשְׁכָּן יִסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכֹל מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
When the cloud rose up from over the mishkon, the B’nei Yisrael would set out in all their travels.
When the cloud rose up from over the mishkon, the B’nei Yisrael would set out in all their travels.
וְאִם־לֹא יֵעָלֶה הֶעָנָן וְלֹא יִסְעוּ עַד־יוֹם הֵעָלֹתֽוֹ׃
If the cloud did not rise, they would not set out until the day that it rose.

כִּי עֲנַן יְהֹוָה עַֽל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן יוֹמָם וְאֵשׁ תִּהְיֶה לַיְלָה בּוֹ לְעֵינֵי כׇל־בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכׇל־מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
For the cloud of Adonoy was upon the mishkon by day, and there was a fire in it by night, before the eyes of the entire Beis Yisrael, in all their travels.

Rashi
לעיני כל בית ישראל בכל מסעיהם. בכל מסע שהיו נוסעים, היה הענן שוכן במקום אשר יחנו שם. מקום חנייתם אף הוא קרוי מסע, וכן וַיֵּלֶךְ לְמַסָּעיו (בראשית יג, ג), וכן אֵלֶּה מַסְעֵי (במדבר לג, א), לפי שממקום החנייה חזרו ונסעו, לכך נקראו כולן מסעות:
Before the eyes of the entire Beis Yisrael in all their travels. At every station that they stopped the cloud would rest at the place where they encamped. Their encampment is also called מַסָּע Similarly: “He went to his (לְמַסָּעָיו) resting places.” Similarly: “These were (מַסְעֵי) the stations.” Because from the place of encampment they again journeyed, therefore, they are called מַסָּעוֹת .
ולא יכול משה לבוא אל אהל מועד. וכתוב אחד אומר, ובבא משה אל אהל מועד (במדבר ז, פט), בא הכתוב השלישי והכריע ביניהם, כי שכן עליו הענן, אמר מעתה, כל זמן שהיה עליו הענן, לא היה יכול לבוא, נסתלק הענן, נכנס ומדבר עמו (פתיחה לת"כ ח):
Moshe was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting. Yet, another verse states: “And when Moshe would come into the Tent of Meeting” There comes a third verse [later in our verse] and reconciles them: “for the cloud was upon it (on the Tent of meetings)” Say, therefore: as long as the cloud was upon it he could not come in; once the cloud left he would enter and speak with Him.
