This cloud had previously led them out of Egypt and through the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21-22</a>). Its presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting signified God's willingness to communicate with Moses and, by extension, His people. The tent of meeting was a temporary place of worship and divine encounter before the construction of the Tabernacle. The cloud's presence underscored the holiness and sanctity of the space, emphasizing that God was dwelling among His people, a theme that resonates with the incarnation of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).<p><b>they would stand up and worship</b><br>The act of standing up indicates reverence and readiness to honor God. Worship in this context involved acknowledging God's majesty and authority. The Israelites' response to the visible presence of God was one of awe and respect, reflecting a communal recognition of His sovereignty. This act of worship was not just a ritual but a heartfelt response to God's nearness. It parallels the call for believers to worship "in spirit and truth" (<a href="/john/4-24.htm">John 4:24</a>), recognizing God's presence in their lives.<p><b>each one at the entrance to his own tent</b><br>This phrase highlights the personal and communal aspects of worship. Each individual stood at the entrance of their own tent, signifying personal responsibility and participation in the worship of God. It reflects the idea that while worship is a communal activity, it is also deeply personal. This practice ensured that the entire community was involved in the act of worship, fostering unity and shared faith. It also prefigures the New Testament teaching that believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/1_corinthians/6-19.htm">1 Corinthians 6:19</a>), where worship is not confined to a specific location but is a personal and continuous act of devotion.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who would meet with God in the tent of meeting.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who observed the pillar of cloud and responded with worship.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tent_of_meeting.htm">The Tent of Meeting</a></b><br>A special place outside the camp where Moses met with God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_pillar_of_cloud.htm">The Pillar of Cloud</a></b><br>A visible manifestation of God's presence, signifying His guidance and protection.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_camp_of_israel.htm">The Camp of Israel</a></b><br>The temporary dwelling place of the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_is_tangible.htm">God's Presence is Tangible</a></b><br>The pillar of cloud was a physical manifestation of God's presence.
