Exodus 19:1–8

¹In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai, ²and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount. ³And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, ‘Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel, ⁴Ye—ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles’ wings, and bring you in unto Myself.

⁵‘And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; ⁶and ye—ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these are the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.’ ⁷And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him; ⁸and all the people answer together and say, ‘All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;’ and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
