Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. (Exo 33:7 NIV) Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the "tent of meeting." Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. (Prov 20:20 NIV) If a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
