Exodus 33:4-10

4When the people heard these dreadful words, they mourned, and no one put on any ornaments.

5Adonai said to Moses, “Say to Bnei-Yisrael, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were going up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Take off your ornaments, so that I may consider what to do to you.’”

6So Bnei-Yisrael stripped themselves of their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward.

7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the Tent of Meeting. So it happened, everyone who sought Adonai would go out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

8Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would arise and stand, everyone at the door of his own tent, and look after Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

9After Moses entered, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door, and He would speak with Moses.

10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the Tent, they all rose up and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his own tent.
