Exodus 24:4-11

4And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.

6And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.”

8And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”

9Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

10and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity.

11But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank.
