7 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. 8 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. 9 As Moses went into
the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the
entrance, while the LORD spoke with Moses. 10 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 his tent.
