Exodus
24:3-11
(3) Moses came and told the people
all the words of the LORD and all the rules. And all the people answered with
one voice and said, "All the words that the LORD has spoken we will
do."
(4) And Moses wrote down all the
words of the LORD. 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.
(5) And he sent young men of the
people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of
oxen to the LORD.
(6) And Moses took half of the blood
and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw
against the altar.
(7) Then he took the Book of the
Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All
that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient."
(8) And Moses took the blood and
threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that
the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."
(9) Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,
(10) and
they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of
sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.
(11) And he did not lay his hand on
the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.
