Exodus 19:3-8

MSG

NIV

3 As Moses went up to meet God, God called down to him from the mountain: "Speak to the House of Jacob, tell the People of Israel:
3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel:
4 'You have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to me.
4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.
5 If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep my covenant, out of all peoples you'll be my special treasure. The whole Earth is mine to choose from,
5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine,
6 but you're special: a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.' "This is what I want you to tell the People of Israel."
6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 Moses came back and called the elders of Israel together and set before them all these words which God had commanded him.
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak.
8 The people were unanimous in their response: "Everything God says, we will do." Moses took the people's answer back to God.
8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the LORD has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.
