7. 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.
8. And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent.
9. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the LORD spoke with Moses.
10. Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to his tent.
11. The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

Interesting how God chooses something you can't hold to represent Himself. Burning bush, clouds, etc.
He really does make it hard for us to worship Him since our nature is to put a box around God and make Him concrete and tangible.
I think this is another way God telling us, He is much bigger than we can ever imagine and perhaps helping us not to put Him as some finite thing.
How awesome it must have been to be face to face with God. I pray that I will develop such close relationship with God.
