Exodus 24:3-11
3Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the 1ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, “2All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!” 43Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an 4altar 5at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5He sent young men of the sons of Israel, 6and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord. 67Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7Then he took 8the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “9All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!” 8So 10Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold 11the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has 12made with you 13in accordance with all these words.”
9Then Moses went up 14with Aaron, 15Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10and 16they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet 1718there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, 19as clear as the sky itself. 11Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and 20they saw God, and they ate and drank.
