Chapter 33

1Then Hashem said to Moshe, “Set out from here, you and the people that you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, saying, ‘To your offspring will I give it'

4When the people heard this harsh word, they went into mourning, and none put on his finery.

5Hashem said to Moshe, “Say to B'nei Yisrael, ‘You are a stiffnecked people. If I were to go in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now, then, leave off your finery, and I will consider what to do to you.'”

6So the Israelites remained stripped of the finery from Mount Horeb on.

7Now Moshe would take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, at some distance from the camp. It was called the Tent of Meeting, and whoever sought Hashem would go out to the Tent of Meeting that was outside the camp.

8Whenever Moshe went out to the Tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moshe until he had entered the Tent.

9And when Moshe entered the Tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the Tent, while He spoke with Moshe.

10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud poised at the entrance of the Tent, all the people would rise and bow low, each at the entrance of his tent.

11Hashem would speak to Moshe face to face, as one man speaks to another. And he would then return to the camp; but his attendant, Yehoshua son of Nun, a youth, would not stir out of the Tent.

12Moshe said to Hashem, “See, You say to me, ‘Lead this people forward,' but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, ‘I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed, gained My favor.'

17And Hashem said to Moshe, “I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name.”
