Read in context

Exodus 24:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

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

10 and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

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

12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
