A very unusual and completely unique scripture
verse that is not found anywhere else was located
within the 24th chapter of Exodus.
Moses with other handpicked men, plus all
seventy of the Elders, went up the holy mountain
to worship but only Moses alone would be
permitted to come near the LORD on Mt Sinai.
Moses completed many amazing tasks from verses
three through eight. By verse seven he has written
and read the 'book of the covenant' to the people.
Wow! In verse eight, Moses sprinkled the blood
on to the people saying, 'Behold, the blood of the
covenant.'
Verse nine again has Moses with the seventy
Elders plus his brother Aaron, along with Aaron's
two eldest sons Nadab and Abihu who all come
up to the mountain. Together, they all witnessed
the LORD.
[Note: These two sons were later struck dead for
kindling and offering strange-fire before the tent
of meeting or their Wilderness sanctuary.]
Exodus 24:10 KJV
And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was]
under his feet as it were a paved work of a
sapphire stone, and as it were the body of
heaven in [his] clearness.
What does this mean 'paved work' that was made
of sapphire stone?
(a) Paved: Strong's H3840 - Libnah = tile, pavement,
brick; lexicon listed as: whiteness or transparency.
NOTE: this is the only verse that has this word in
any of the holy scriptures. Amazing!
(b) Work: Strong's H4639 - Ma'aseh = deed, work, thing
done, act, business, pursuit, labour, undertaking,
enterprise, works, achievement, product. NOTE: I
noticed how this masculine noun occurred 235 times
in KJV with 23 listed as 'miscellaneous.'
What did they all see?
"Sapphire worked together into tiled pavement
of white-transparencies."
Strange, isn't it?
