3 Moses came and told the people all the LORD's words and all the decisions. All the people answered together, |We are willing to do all the words that the LORD has said,| 4 and Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain and arranged twelve standing stones--according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 He sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls for peace offerings to the LORD. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and half of the blood he splashed on the altar. 7 He took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people, and they said, |We are willing to do and obey all that the LORD has spoken.| 8 So Moses took the blood and splashed it on the people and said, |This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.| Exodus 24:3-8, New English Translation.
