Read To Hear: ExodusNäide

“Even though these leaders of Israel saw God, he did not punish them. So they ate and drank.” (Exodus 24:11, CEV) 

Also read the verse in NLT version.

Fact:

In almost every part of the world, especially in the Middle East, eating and drinking together is a symbol of peace; a sign of a relationship being established or growing stronger.

The leaders of Israel celebrated the confirmation of the Lord’s covenant. It was a foreshadowing of the Last Supper that confirmed the promise of the coming New Covenant.
