Numbers 11:24

And Moses went out... — i.e., as it should seem, from the tabernacle of the congregation, where he had been conversing with God.

Round about the tabernacle. — This does not necessarily imply that the seventy men were placed so that they surrounded the whole of the tent of meeting. Comp. Exodus 7:24, where the word means on both sides of the river; also Job 29:5, where the same word is rendered about.
