Exodus 33:7-11
English Standard Version
The Tent of Meeting
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and (A)he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who (B)sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. 8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and (C)each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. 9 When Moses entered the tent, the (D)pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord[a] would speak with Moses. 10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. 11 Thus (E)the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his (F)assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

Christian Standard Bible
7 Now Moses took a tent and pitched it outside the camp, at a distance from the camp; he called it the tent of meeting. Anyone who wanted to consult the Lord would go to the tent of meeting that was outside the camp.(A) 8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand up, each one at the door of his tent, and they would watch Moses until he entered the tent. 9 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance to the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses.(B) 10 As all the people saw the pillar of cloud remaining at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up, then bow in worship, each one at the door of his tent. 11 The Lord would speak with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks with his friend, then Moses would return to the camp. His assistant, the young man Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the inside of the tent.(C)
