New International Version

Exodus 19:5-9 New International Version (NIV)

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. 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. 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 all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.

9. The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.
