“Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, than ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.”{1BC 1103.7}“And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words.”{1BC 1103.8}“And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.”{1BC 1103.9}This covenant is of just as much force today as it was when the Lord made it with ancient Israel (The Southern Work, March 1, 1904).{1BC 1103.10}

" Da gik Moses hen og kaldte folkets ældste sammen og forelagde dem alle disse ord, som Herren havde pålagt ham."

"Og hele folket svarede, alle som een: »Alt, hvad Herren har sagt, vil vi gøre!"

Denne pagt har lige så megen kraft i dag, som den havde da Herren indgik den med det gamle Israel (SW 1. marts, 1904).
