Exodus 33:1-11

Exodus 33:1-11

[1] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  and go up  hence, thou and the people  which thou hast brought up  out of the land  of Egypt,  unto the land  which I sware  unto Abraham,  to Isaac,  and to Jacob,  saying,  Unto thy seed  will I give  [2] And I will send  an angel  before  thee; and I will drive out  the Canaanite,  the Amorite,  and the Hittite,  and the Perizzite,  the Hivite,  and the Jebusite:  [3] Unto a land  flowing  with milk  and honey:  for I will not go up  in the midst  of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked  people:  lest I consume  thee in the way.  [4] And when the people  heard  these evil  tidings,  they mourned:  and no man  did put  on him his ornaments.  [5] For the LORD  had said  unto Moses,  Say  unto the children  of Israel,  Ye are a stiffnecked  people:  I will come up  into the midst  of thee in a  moment,  and consume  thee: therefore now put off  thy ornaments  from thee, that I may know  what to do  unto thee. [6] And the children  of Israel  stripped  themselves of their ornaments  by the mount  Horeb.  [7] And Moses  took  the tabernacle,  and pitched  it without  the camp,  afar off  from the camp,  and called  it the Tabernacle  of the congregation.  And it came to pass, that every one which sought  the LORD  went out  unto the tabernacle  of the congregation,  which was without  the camp.  [8] And it came to pass, when Moses  went out  unto the tabernacle,  that all the people  rose up,  and stood  every man  at his tent  door,  and looked  after  Moses,  until he was gone  into the tabernacle.  [9] And it came to pass, as Moses  entered  into the tabernacle,  the cloudy  pillar  descended,  and stood  at the door  of the tabernacle,  and the LORD talked  with Moses.  [10] And all the people  saw  the cloudy  pillar  stand  at the tabernacle  door:  and all the people  rose up  and worshipped,  every man  in his tent  door.  [11] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  face  as a man  speaketh  unto his friend.  And he turned again  into the camp:  but his servant  Joshua,  the son  of Nun,  a young man,  departed  not out  of the tabernacle.
