Exodus 24:4-6

The Voice

⁴ Moses wrote down in great detail everything that the Eternal had said. Then early the next morning he woke up and constructed an altar at the foot of the mountain and erected twelve stone pillars.^[a] Each pillar represented one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ Moses directed some of the young men of Israel to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice young bulls as peace offerings to the Eternal. ⁶ He gathered half of the blood from the animals and filled the basins with it. He sprinkled the other half of the blood against the altar.
