Exodus 33:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ This was because the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel], ‘You are a ·stubborn [^Lstiff-necked] people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I would destroy you. So take off all your ·jewelry [ornaments; or festive dress], and I will decide what to do with you.’” ⁶ So the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel ·took [stripped] off their ·jewelry [ormanents; or festive dress] at Mount ·Sinai [^LHoreb; 3:1].

The Meeting Tent

⁷ Moses used to take a tent and ·set it up [pitch it] a long way outside the camp; he called it the “Meeting Tent.” Anyone who wanted to ·ask [seek] the Lord about something would go to the Meeting Tent outside the camp.
