Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the "tent of meeting." Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp.
Exodus 33:7
It is interesting that anyone inquiring of the Lord could go to this tent and not just Moses and the priests. I wonder how many others used it.
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 aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Exodus 33:11 NIV
Here we see Joshua using the tent AMF he seems to linger in God's presence. No wonder that he later became the leader of the people.
God, cause us to want more of you and to linger in your presence!
