9. Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the leaders of Israel went up the mountain
10. and they saw the God of Israel. Beneath his feet was what looked like a pavement of sapphire, as blue as the sky.
11. God did not harm these leading men of Israel; they saw God, and then they ate and drank together.
12. The Lord said to Moses, “Come up the mountain to me, and while you are here, I will give you two stone tablets which contain all the laws that I have written for the instruction of the people.”
13. Moses and his helper Joshua got ready, and Moses began to go up the holy mountain.
14. Moses said to the leaders, “Wait here in the camp for us until we come back. Aaron and Hur are here with you; and so whoever has a dispute to settle can go to them.”
