Exodus 19:3-6 ▼

3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain: |This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and declare to the sons of Israel,

4 You saw what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

5 And now if you carefully obey me and keep my covenant, you are to be my special possession out of all the peoples, because the whole earth belongs to me,

6 but you are to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to me.' These are the words you are to declare to the Israelis.|
