16 When they have matter.
they come unto me: and I judge
between one and another. and / do
make them know the statutes of

shall be with thee: BE thou for the

/ people are prepared against the third day.

fearful presence Of God upon the mount.
In the third month, when the
children of Israel were gone forth
out of the land of Egypt, the same
day came they into the wilderness
of Sinai.

/ Rephidim. and were come to the
desert of Sinai. and had pitched IN
the Wilderness and there Israel
camped before the, mount.

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 ! did unto
the Egyptians. and how I bare you
on eagles wings. and brought you
unto myself.
Now therefore. if We will obey
my voice indeed. and keep my cove
nant, then We shall be peculiar
treasure unto me above all people:
for all the earth is mine:
And We shall be unto me a
kingdom of priests, and a holy ma
ton. These are the words which
thou shalt speak unto the children
of Israel.
z 2 And Moses came and called
for the elders of the people. and
laid before their faces all these
words which the Lord commanded
1 him.
And all the people answered
together. and said. An that the
Lord hath spoken we will do. And
Moses returned the words of the
! people unto the Lord.
