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,

I'll establish my covenant between me and you, and I'll greatly increase your numbers."

He took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They said, "We will put into practice and obey everything that the LORD has decreed."

Then the LORD told Moses, "Write down these words, because I'm making a covenant with you and with Israel according to these words."
