3 Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, and he said: 'This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel:
4 'You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.
5 If, therefore, you will hear my voice, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. For all the earth is mine.
6 And you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.' These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.'
7 Moses went, and calling together those greater by birth among the people, he set forth all the words which the Lord had commanded.
