New Testament

Exodus 33:4-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. When the people heard this bad news, they acted as if someone had died. No one wore any jewelry.

5. The Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are impossible to deal with. If I were with you, I might destroy you at any time. Now take off your jewelry, and I’ll decide what to do with you.’”

6. After they left Mount Horeb, the Israelites no longer wore their jewelry.

7. Now, Moses used to take a tent and set it up far outside the camp. He called it the tent of meeting. Anyone who was seeking the Lord’s will used to go outside the camp to the tent of meeting.

8. Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise and stand at the entrances to their tents and watch Moses until he went in.

9. As soon as Moses went into the tent, the column of smoke would come down and stay at the entrance to the tent while the Lord spoke with Moses.
