10. Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshipped, each at the entrance to their tent.
11. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
12. Moses said to the Lord, ‘You have been telling me, “Lead these people,” but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, “I know you by name and you have found favour with me.”
13. If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favour with you. Remember that this nation is your people.’
14. The Lord replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’
