8Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.
9Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:
10And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.
11And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.
12And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.
13Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
14And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.
