Num 9: The unclean men asked why they couldn't receive the passover. Moses said "stand still". He asked God why. God said they could. It is really important not to make religious assumptions based on what seems to fit a pattern. It is good to have the confidence to tell the people to wait. It is vital to wait on God for answers everyday. (Its a good idea to wait on Him for answers before the questions arise).
The lesson of the cloud is: Wait. Watch. Move only when God moves. "I do ONLY what I see my Father doing." John 5.19 (paraphrase)
A "mixed multitude" (11.4) caused the Israelites to complain. Be careful who you mix with and what you listen to!
