The tent, which was called the meeting tent,
Moses used to pitch at some distance away, outside the camp.
Anyone who wished to consult the LORD
would go to this meeting tent outside the camp. (Exodus 33:7-11; 34:5b-9, 28)
The image of the meeting tent is still with the church today. If you have ever closely examined the tabernacle in the church, you would find that it is covered on the inside with cloth . . . and generally there is a “tabernacle veil” covering the outside when the Blessed Sacrament is present as a sign of the Presence (there is also a lamp).
