Exodus 19:1-9

11In the third month after the sons of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, 2on that very day they came into the wilderness of 3Sinai. 2When they set out from 4Rephidim, they came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped in front of 5the mountain. 3Moses went up to God, and 6the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel: 4‘7You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on 8eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself. 5Now then, 9if you will indeed obey My voice and 10keep My covenant, then you shall be 11My 12own possession among all the peoples, for 13all the earth is Mine; 6and you shall be to Me 14a kingdom of priests and 15a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”

716So Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the Lord had commanded him. 817All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do!” And Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord. 9The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in 18a thick cloud, so that the 19people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe in you forever.” Then Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
