8. Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “Here is the blood which seals the promise that the Lord has made to you based on everything you have just heard.”
9. Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s leaders.
10. They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made out of sapphire as clear and blue as the sky itself.
11. God didn’t harm these leaders of the Israelites. So they saw God, and then they ate and drank.
12. The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the teachings and the commandments I have written for the people’s instruction.”
