Exodus 24:1-11

[1] And he said  unto Moses,  Come up  unto the LORD,  thou, and Aaron,  Nadab,  and Abihu,  and seventy  of the elders  of Israel;  and worship  ye afar off.  [2] And Moses  alone shall come near  the LORD:  but they shall not come nigh;  neither shall the people  go up  [3] And Moses  came  and told  the people  all the words  of the LORD,  and all the judgments:  and all the people  answered  with one  voice,  and said,  All the words  which the LORD  hath said  will we do.  [4] And Moses  wrote  all the words  of the LORD,  and rose up early  in the morning,  and builded  an altar  under  the hill,  and twelve pillars,  according to the twelve  tribes  of Israel.  [5] And he sent  young men  of the children  of Israel,  which offered  burnt offerings,  and sacrificed  peace  offerings  of oxen  unto the LORD.  [6] And Moses  took  half  of the blood,  and put  it in basons;  and half  of the blood  he sprinkled  on the altar.  [7] And he took  the book  of the covenant,  and read  in the audience  of the people:  and they said,  All that the LORD  hath said  will we do,  and be obedient.  [8] And Moses  took  the blood,  and sprinkled  it on the people,  and said,  Behold the blood  of the covenant,  which the LORD  hath made  with you concerning all these words.  [9] Then went up  Moses,  and Aaron,  Nadab,  and Abihu,  and seventy  of the elders  of Israel:  [10] And they saw  the God  of Israel:  and there was under his feet  as it were a paved  work  of a sapphire stone,  and as it were the body  of heaven  in his clearness.  [11] And upon the nobles  of the children  of Israel  he laid  not his hand:  also they saw  God,  and did eat  and drink.
