2. Mosebok 24,10

8 Moses tok blodet, sprengte det på folket, og erklærte: “Dette er blodet av den pakten som Herren har inngått med dere i henhold til alle disse ordene.”

9 Moses, sammen med Aron, Nadab, Abihu, og de sytti eldste av Israel, steg opp.

De så Israels Gud, og under hans føtter var det noe som lignet et gulv av safir, klart som himmelen selv.

11 Likevel løftet han ikke hånden mot lederne av israelittene; de så Gud, og de spiste og drakk.

12 Herren sa til Moses: “Stig opp til meg på fjellet og bli der, så vil jeg gi deg steintavlene med loven og budene som jeg har skrevet for deres undervisning.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
