At the Tent
Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it
Outside the camp some distance away,
calling it the “tent of meeting.”
Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go
to the tent of meeting outside the camp.
And whenever Moses went out to the tent,
all the people rose and stood at the entrances
to their tents, watching Moses until he
entered the tent. As Moses went into the tent,
the pillar of cloud would come down and stay
at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses.
Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud
standing at the entrance to the tent,
they all stood and worshiped,
each at the entrance to their tent.
The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,
as one speaks to a friend.
Then Moses would return to the camp,
but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Exodus 33:7-11 NIV
