Exodus 33:9-11

The Voice

⁹ When Moses entered the tent, the cloud pillar descended to the tent’s entrance, and the Eternal would talk with Moses. ¹⁰ When people witnessed the cloud pillar standing at the meeting tent’s entrance, they would stand and bow in worship at the entrance of their own tents. ¹¹ The Eternal spoke with Moses face-to-face, just as a friend speaks to another friend. After they were done, Moses would come back to camp but his young assistant Joshua (Nun’s son) would remain behind.
