Exodus 24:9 In-Context

7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it as the people listened. They said, "Everything God said, we'll do. Yes, we'll obey."

8 Moses took the rest of the blood and threw it out over the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has made with you out of all these words I have spoken."

10 and saw the God of Israel. He was standing on a pavement of something like sapphires - pure, clear sky-blue.

11 He didn't hurt these pillar-leaders of the Israelites: They saw God; and they ate and drank.
