Exodus

Exodus 24:9–11

⁹Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, ¹⁰and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. ¹¹But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
