Introduction

Exodus 24:10 contains one of the most remarkable theophanies in the Old Testament. Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel went up Mount Sinai and saw the God of Israel. The description includes a pavement of sapphire stone under God's feet, clear as the sky itself. This extraordinary passage raises profound questions about seeing God, divine revelation, and the nature of God's presence among His people. This comprehensive study examines Exodus 24:10, exploring the context of covenant ratification, the meaning of seeing God, the significance of the sapphire pavement, and the theological implications for understanding divine revelation and human encounter with the holy.
