5 Now therefore, if ye will give ear to hearken unto my voice and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure unto me above all peoples; for all the earth is mine.
6 And ye shall be my kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.
7 Then Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together and said, All that the Lord has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, I come unto thee in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with thee and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes
11 and be ready for the third day; for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
