Exodus 24:9-17

Exodus 24:9-17

[9] Then went up  Moses,  and Aaron,  Nadab,  and Abihu,  and seventy  of the elders  of Israel:  [10] And they saw  the God  of Israel:  and there was under his feet  as it were a paved  work  of a sapphire stone,  and as it were the body  of heaven  in his clearness.  [11] And upon the nobles  of the children  of Israel  he laid  not his hand:  also they saw  God,  and did eat  and drink.  [12] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Come up  to me into the mount,  and be there: and I will give  thee tables  of stone,  and a law,  and commandments  which I have written;  that thou mayest teach  them. [13] And Moses  rose up,  and his minister  Joshua:  and Moses  went up  into the mount  of God.  [14] And he said  unto the elders,  Tarry  ye here  for us, until we come again  unto you: and, behold, Aaron  and Hur  are with you: if any  have any matters  to do,  let him come  unto them. [15] And Moses  went up  into the mount,  and a cloud  covered  the mount.  [16] And the glory  of the LORD  abode  upon mount  Sinai,  and the cloud  covered  it six  days:  and the seventh  day  he called  unto Moses  out of the midst  of the cloud.  [17] And the sight  of the glory  of the LORD  was like devouring  fire  on the top  of the mount  in the eyes  of the children  of Israel.
