1 In the third month after the Israelites went out from the land of Egypt, on this day they came to the Sinai desert.
2 They set out from Rephidim, and they came to the desert of Sinai, and they camped in the desert, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
3 And Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you will say to the house of Jacob and you will tell the Israelites,
4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and I brought you to me.
5 And now if you will carefully listen to my voice and keep my covenant, you will be a treasured possession for me out of all the peoples, for all the earth is mine,
6 but you, you will belong to me as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the Israelites.”
7 And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he placed before them all these words that Yahweh had commanded him.
