Ramban on Numbers 9:15/רמב"ן על במדבר ט׳:ט״ו

אוּבְיוֹם הָקִים אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן עַתָּה יַחְזֹר לְסַפֵּר בְּעִנְיְנֵי הַנְּסִיעָה וְהַמִּצְווֹת שֶׁנִּצְטַוּוּ בָּהּ, כְּגוֹן הַחֲצוֹצְרוֹת שֶׁנִּצְטַוָּה בָּהֶן עַכְשָׁיו לִהְיוֹתָן לְמִקְרָא הָעֵדָה וּלְמַסַּע אֶת הַמַּחֲנוֹת. וְטַעַם כִּסָּה הֶעָנָן אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן לְאֹהֶל הָעֵדוּת, לְהַגִּיד שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה הֶעָנָן מְכַסֶּה אֶלָּא אֹהֶל הָעֵדוּת, לֹא חֲצַר הַמִּשְׁכָּן:
1AND ON THE DAY THE TABERNACLE WAS RAISED UP. Now He resumes the telling of the journey [through the wilderness] and the commandments which they were commanded about it, such as the trumpets, which Moses was now commanded were to be for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward.94 The sense of the expression [And on the day the Tabernacle was raised up] the cloud covered the Tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony is to state that the cloud covered only the Tent of the Testimony, but not the court of the Tabernacle.
