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. 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.”
