The first Lord's supper?

OK, here is something else I am sure was not in the bible the last four times I read it cover to cover. Isn't it interesting that no matter how many times we read the word there is always something new there? I'm sure I've never read this before (Exodus 9-11) though I am sure the words hit my eyes. They just didn't register in my soul. Maybe that's because the Lord was drawing my attention to something else I was reading in that part of the word. The Lord really does meet us in the word, doesn't he. And if we are listening he gives us a specific word for us; he speaks right into our lives. Now I have to figure out what the Lord is saying to me by getting me to hear (see?) this bit about that small group having "a covenant meal" with him. Is it about the importance of small groups? Is he showing me that way back in the book so I will once again speak about the deep importance of close communion (i.e. fellowship with a small group for Christ's sake) where the Lord will meet us and commune with us? There I said it. Is there anyone out there who needed to hear it (besides me again!)? And just for weirdness sake, I would have told you that no one has ever laid eyes on God-even that it says that somewhere in the book. But here it clearly says this small group "saw" him. Does anyone know where it says no one has ever seen the Father? (Hint. It was the Son who said it.)
