God told Moses to have Aaron set up lamps in the tabernacle. The Levites were set apart for God in a big ceremony where they sacrificed and purified themselves and prayed.
With all of the logistics sorted out now the people just followed God. The big cloud would lift up from the tent of meeting and they would break camp and follow it until it stopped. Then they would set up their tents and stay there until the cloud lifted again, sometimes for a single day, sometimes for a year. Eventually though, they set out for the land that God promised them. Moses’s father in law started back to his home, but Moses convinced him to stay with the camp and share his knowledge of the desert, promising that they would share the great things in Caanan with him.
