| Numbers / Bamidbar 9:15 | And on the day on which the mishkan was erected, the cloud covered the tent of witness; from the evening until morning it had the look of fire. | וּבְיוֹם הָקִים אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן כִּסָּה הֶעָנָן אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן לְאֹהֶל הָעֵדֻת וּבָעֶרֶב יִהְיֶה עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵשׁ עַד־בֹּקֶר׃ |
| 9:16 | And so it was: the cloud was always covering it; it looked like fire at night. | כֵּן יִהְיֶה תָמִיד הֶעָנָן יְכַסֶּנּוּ וּמַרְאֵה־אֵשׁ לָיְלָה׃ |
| 9:17 | When the cloud rose above the tent, the Children of Israel would follow it; and where the cloud stopped the Children of Israel set up camp. | וּלְפִי הֵעָלוֹת הֶעָנָן מֵעַל הָאֹהֶל וְאַחֲרֵי כֵן יִסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבִמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁכׇּן־שָׁם הֶעָנָן שָׁם יַחֲנוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
| 9:18 | The Children of Israel traveled at G-d’s word, and camped at G-d’s word, throughout all of the days in which the cloud was above the mishkan they camped. | עַל־פִּי ה’ יִסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל־פִּי ה’ יַחֲנוּ כׇּל־יְמֵי אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁכֹּן הֶעָנָן עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן יַחֲנוּ׃} |
| 9:19 | When the cloud settled on the mishkan for many days, the Children of Israel kept the guard of G-d, and did not travel. (note: there are many alternative translations and interpretations of this sentence) | וּבְהַאֲרִיךְ הֶעָנָן עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן יָמִים רַבִּים וְשָׁמְרוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת ה’ וְלֹא יִסָּעוּ׃ |
| 9:20 | There were times when the cloud rested on the mishkan a number of days. At G-d’s command they camped, and on at G-d’s command they traveled. | וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה הֶעָנָן יָמִים מִסְפָּר עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן עַל־פִּי ה’ יַחֲנוּ וְעַל־פִּי ה’ יִסָּעוּ׃ |
| 9:21 | There were times in which the cloud rose after one morning and they traveled; there were times when the cloud arose after a day and a night and they traveled; | וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶה הֶעָנָן מֵעֶרֶב עַד־בֹּקֶר וְנַעֲלָה הֶעָנָן בַּבֹּקֶר וְנָסָעוּ אוֹ יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה וְנַעֲלָה הֶעָנָן וְנָסָעוּ׃ |
| 9:22 | Or two days or a month or many days in a row the cloud rested on the mishkan ; the Children of Israel camped and did not travel. And when it rose they traveled. | אוֹ־יֹמַיִם אוֹ־חֹדֶשׁ אוֹ־יָמִים בְּהַאֲרִיךְ הֶעָנָן עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן לִשְׁכֹּן עָלָיו יַחֲנוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יִסָּעוּ וּבְהֵעָלֹתוֹ יִסָּעוּ׃ |
| 9:23 | At G-d’s command they camped, and at G-d’s command they traveled. They kept G-d guard, as G-d commanded through Moshe. | עַל־פִּי ה’ יַחֲנוּ וְעַל־פִּי ה’ יִסָּעוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת ה’ שָׁמָרוּ עַל־פִּי ה’ בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁה׃ {פ |

- Divide one of the graham cracker sheets into four crackers. Divide the other sheet in two.
3. Dip the narrow edge of one of the graham cracker quarters into the sugar past, attach to the narrow edge of one of the other graham cracker pieces on your surface. Repeat with a second quarter to make 3 sides of a square.
This is the Mishkan. However, you will still want to:
4. Put the half-sheet on top to support the cloud.
5. Take the large marshmallows. Dipping the scissors in the powdered sugar in between cuts, cut in zig zags, then cut in half to make half the depth, to form cloud shapes.
6. Arrange the pieces on the graham cracker to show the cloud by day.
7. Eat the marshmallow pieces, or repeat steps 1-4.
8. Take a sheet of fruit leather. Locate the sticky side. Crimp in four places, then crimp in between, to create a sort of fire-bowl.
