19:3 Moses 1 went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, “Thus you will tell the house of Jacob, and declare to the people 2 of Israel: 19:4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you on eagles’ wings 3 and brought you to myself. 4 19:5 And now, if you will diligently listen to me 5 and keep 6 my covenant, then you will be my 7 special possession 8 out of all the nations, for all the earth is mine, 19:6 and you will be to me 9 a kingdom of priests 10 and a holy nation.’ 11 These are the words that you will speak to the Israelites.”
19:7 So Moses came and summoned the elders of Israel. He set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him, 19:8 and all the people answered together, “All that the Lord has commanded we will do!” 12 So Moses brought the words of the people back to the Lord.
19:9 The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come 13 to you in a dense cloud, 14 so that the people may hear when I speak with you and so that they will always believe in you.” 15 And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
