[The Pentateuch]

And Moses toke the tabernacle and pitched it without the host a far of from the host, and called it the tabernacle of witness. And all that would axe any question of the Lord, went out unto the tabernacle of witness which was without the host. And when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, all the people rose ⟨image 161⟩up and stood every man in his tent door and looked after Moses, until he was gone in to the tabernacle. And as soon as Moses was entered in to the tabernacle, the clouden pillar descended and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and he talked with Moses. And when all the people saw the clouden pillar stand in the tabernacle door, they rose up and worshipped: every man in his tent door.

And Moses toke the tabernacle ād pitched it without the hoste a ferre of frō the hoste, ād called it the tabernacle of wytnesse. And al that wold axe any questiō of the Lorde, went out vnto the tabernacle of wytnesse which was without the hoste. And when Moses wēt out vnto the tabernacle, all the people rose ⟨image 161⟩vp and stode euery man in his tentdore and loked after Moses, vntill he was gone in to the tabernacle. And as sone as Moses was entred in to the tabernacle, the clouden piler descended and stode in the dore of the tabernacle, ād he talked with Moses. And when all the people sawe the clouden piler stonde in the tabernacle dore, they rose vp and worshipped: euery man in his tentdore.

And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And whom Moses turned again in to the host, the lad Joshua his servant the son of Nun departed not out of the tabernacle. And Moses said unto the Lord: see, thou saidest unto me: lead this people forth, but thou showest me not whom thou wilt send with me. And hast said moreover: I know the by name and thou hast also found grace in my sight: Now therefore, if I have found favour in thy sight, then show me thy way and let me know thee: that I may find grace in thy sight. And look on this also, how that this nation is thy people.
