Numbers 16:43

And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the
congregation.
] Whose tent was not far from it, about which the people of Israel were gathered; and from whence they came to the tabernacle, both for shelter and safety, and for advice and instruction how to behave in this crisis; they did not go into it, but stood before it; the Lord being in the cloud over it, they stood in the door of it, ( Numbers 16:50 ) ; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``and Moses and Aaron came from the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.''
