Exodus 24:9 In-Context

7 Then he took the covenant scroll and read it out loud for the people to hear. They responded, "Everything that the LORD has said we will do, and we will obey."

8 Moses then took the blood and threw it over the people. Moses said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD now makes with you on the basis of all these words."

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

10 and they saw Israel's God. Under God's feet there was what looked like a floor of lapis-lazuli tiles, dazzlingly pure like the sky.

11 God didn't harm the Israelite leaders, though they looked at God, and they ate and drank.
