8 Then Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant, which Adonai has cut with you, in agreement with all these words.”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10 They saw the God of Israel, and under His feet was something like a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the very heavens.
11 Yet He did not raise His hand against the nobles of Bnei-Yisrael. So they beheld God, and ate and drank.
12 Then Adonai said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the Torah and the mitzvot, which I have written so that you may instruct them.”
13 So Moses rose up along with his attendant Joshua, and Moses went up onto the mountain of God.
14 To the elders he said, “Wait for us here until we come back to you. See, Aaron and Hur are with you—whoever has a dispute should go to them.”
