Exodus 33:7-11
7Now Moses used to take athe tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And beveryone who sought Yahweh would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. 8And it happened whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. 9And it happened whenever Moses entered the tent, that athe pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; band 1Yahweh would speak with Moses. 10And all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent. And all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. 11Thus aYahweh used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. Then 1Moses would return to the camp, and bhis attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
