Exodus 33:5-7

New International Version

⁵ For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.^(A) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy^(B) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” ⁶ So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.^(C)

The Tent of Meeting

⁷ Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”^(D) Anyone inquiring^(E) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp.
