Exodus 24:5

3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the¹ judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, ^a“All the words which the Lord has said we will do.”

4 And Moses ^awrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve ^bpillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered ^aburnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.

6 And Moses ^atook half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 Then he ^atook the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.”

8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is ^athe blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”

On the Mountain with God

9 Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

10 and they ^asaw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of ^bsapphire stone, and it was like the ^cvery heavens in its clarity.
