If I should come among you for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, [penitently] take off your ornaments, so that I may know what to do with you.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>So the Israelites left off all their ornaments [in repentance], from Mount Horeb (Sinai) <i>onward</i>. <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now Moses used to take his own tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting [of God with His own people]. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the [temporary] tent of meeting which was outside the camp. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at his tent door, and look at Moses until he entered the tent. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the doorway of the tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tent door, all the people would rise and worship, each at his tent door. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/33-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And so the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend.

Milk (typically that of goats and sheep) was associated with abundance; “honey” referred mainly to syrups made from dates or grapes and was the epitome of sweetness.
