Here the people received the conditions of the covenant. They made a solemn covenant with God, typifying the covenant made between God and every believer in Jesus Christ. The conditions were plainly laid before the people. They were not left to misunderstand them. When they were requested to decide whether they would agree to all the conditions given, they unanimously consented to obey every obligation. They had already consented to obey God’s commandments. The principles of the law were now particularized, that they might know how much was involved in covenanting to obey the law; and they accepted the specifically defined particulars of the law.{1BC 1107.3}

Her tager folket imod betingelserne for pagten. De gjorde en højtidelig pagt med Gud, der symboliserede pagten mellem Gud og enhver troende på Jesus Kristus. Betingelserne blev så tydelig lagt fem for folk. De fik ikke lov til at misforstå dem. Da de blev bedt om at beslutte om de ville gå med til alle betingelserne, indvilgede de enstemmigt at adlyde enhver forpligtelse. De havde allerede indvilget i at adlyde Guds bud. Lovens principper blev nu anført enkeltvis, så de kan vide hvad det indebærer at adlyde loven; og de accepterede de særegenheder der var særlig for loven.
