Exodus 19:6

Identity and self-worthGod's holinessServing others

4 ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5 Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”

7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

8 And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
