+--------My Turn; The Thoughts Of Joshua In The Tent Of Meeting Alone After Moses Leaves

I first heard it softly as a child
while sleeping. Always its
recurring reverberations as Moses
takes hammer, nail...pitches
Tent. Soft inflections intensifying
after he leaves like angel echoes;
like the sound of two thick ethereal
clouds descending arm-locked
twirling a divine dance around us,
whisking past the 12 tribes then
resting above - The chilling words:
“YOURE NEXT.” As if God is
prepping me for the momentous
without Moses. Then choral chants.
“Do not be afraid, do not be afraid.”

------Exodus 33:7-11
Moses used to take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, at some distance from the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting. Anyone who had to consult the Lord would go out to the Tent of Meeting, outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would rise. Every man would stand at the door of his tent and watch Moses until he reached the Tent; the pillar of cloud would come down and station itself at the entrance to the Tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses. When they saw the pillar of cloud stationed at the entrance to the Tent, all the people would rise and bow low, each at the door of his tent. The Lord would speak with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would turn back to the camp, but the young man who was his servant, Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the Tent.
