Exodus 33:7
Compare all
5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your1 ornaments, that I may aknow what to do to you.’ ”  
6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.

Moses Meets with the Lord

7 Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and acalled it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who bsought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp.  
8 So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood aat his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle.  
9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord atalked with Moses.  
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and aworshiped, each man in his tent door.  
11 So athe Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but bhis servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.  

The Promise of God’s Presence

12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, aYou say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, b‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’  
13 Now therefore, I pray, aif I have found grace in Your sight, bshow me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is cYour people.”  
14 And He said, a“My Presence will go with you, and I will give you brest.”  
15 Then he said to Him, a“If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.  
16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, aexcept You go with us? So we bshall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”  
17 So the Lord said to Moses, a“I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”

Exodus 33:7

And Moses took the tabernacle - The tent wherein he gave audience, heard causes, and inquired of God, and pitched it without, afar off from the camp - To signify to them that they were unworthy of it. Perhaps this tabernacle was a model of the tabernacle that was afterwards to be erected, a hasty draught from the pattern shewed him in the mount, designed for direction to the workman, and used in the mean time as a tabernacle of meeting between God and Moses about public affairs.
