3 Moses gave the Lord's instructions to the people, and they promised, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded!”
4 Then Moses wrote down what the Lord had said.The next morning Moses got up early. He built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up a large stone for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 He also sent some young men to burn offerings and to sacrifice bulls as special offerings to the Lord.
6 Moses put half of the blood from the animals into bowls and sprinkled the rest on the altar.
7 Then he read aloud the Lord's commands and promises, and the people shouted, “We will obey the Lord and do everything he has commanded!”
8 Moses took the blood from the bowls and sprinkled it on the people. Next, he told them, “With this blood the Lord makes his agreement with you.”
