King James Bible
"And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door."
The pillar of cloud was God's visible manifestation of His presence, which typically led Israel through the wilderness. Its appearance at the tent of meeting signaled that Moses was in direct communion with God, making the divine presence tangible and undeniable to all observers. The Israelites' immediate response of standing demonstrates reverence and awe before God's glory. This spontaneous worship reflects their recognition of the holy moment unfolding before them, as their mediator Moses met with the Lord. Each person worshipped from their own dwelling's entrance, maintaining appropriate distance from the sacred encounter. This detail emphasizes both the communal nature of the experience and the personal response required—everyone participated while respecting the boundaries of holiness.
