Exodus 19:3-8
King James Version
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.

New King James Version
3 And (A)Moses went up to God, and the Lord (B)called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 (C)‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (D)I [a]bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now (E)therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and (F)keep My covenant, then (G)you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is (H)Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a (I)kingdom of priests and a (J)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 So Moses came and called for the (K)elders of the people, and [b]laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him. 8 Then (L)all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.
