And Moses took the tabernacle The tent wherein he gave audience, heard causes, and inquired of God; and pitched it without, afar off from the camp To signify to them that they were unworthy of it. Perhaps this tabernacle was a model of the tabernacle that was afterward to be erected, a hasty draft from the pattern showed him in the mount, designed for direction to the workmen, and used in the mean time as a tabernacle of meeting between God and Moses about public affairs. And called it the tabernacle of the congregation Implying, that whosoever would seek the Lord, that is, would seek either for his favour, or for counsel and direction, must come thither.
