Tent of Meeting
The sanctuary where Aaron and his sons tend the lamp from dusk to dawn. They are bathed at its entrance and vested there; Yahweh will meet Israel at the entrance and speak there. They wear linen breeches when they enter it or approach the altar, as a perpetual decree. Census ransom money is applied to its service; a bronze basin stands between it and the altar; it is anointed with the holy oil. Bezalel and Oholiab are commissioned to make the Tent of Meeting. Moses pitches it outside the camp and talks with Yahweh there face to face; Joshua never leaves its inside.
