Exodus 24:6-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.
