Exodus 33:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are stubborn. If I went with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your jewelry. Then I will decide what to do with you.’ ” ⁶ So the people took off their jewelry at Mount Horeb.

The Tent of Meeting

⁷ Moses used to take a tent and set it up far outside the camp. He called it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone who wanted to ask the Lord a question would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp.
