10549. 'And so it was, when Moses went out to the tent, that all the people rose and stood, [each] at the door of [his] tent' means that that nation did not abide in the external aspect of the Word, the Church, and worship, but outside it. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the Word, dealt with in the places referred to in 9372; from the meaning of 'the tent' as the holiness of worship, the Church, and the Word, dealt with above in 10545; and from the meaning of 'rising and standing in front of the door of the tent' as standing outside it. For 'the door' means entrance, introduction, and communication, 2145, 2152, 8989, and therefore 'standing in front of it' means not going in, being introduced, and being communicated.
