1
In the thirdmonth, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same daycame they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2
For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israelcamped before the mount.
3
And Moses went up unto God, and the LORDcalled unto him out of the mountain,saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'wings, and brought you unto myself.
5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voiceindeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holynation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7
And Mosescame and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORDcommanded him.
8
And all the peopleansweredtogether, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Mosesreturned the words of the people unto the LORD.
