24:3 Moses came ⁸  and told the people all the Lord’s words ⁹  and all the decisions. All the people answered together, ¹⁰  “We are willing to do ¹¹  all the words that the Lord has said,” 24:4 and Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Early in the morning he built ¹²  an altar at the foot ¹³  of the mountain and arranged ¹⁴  twelve standing stones ¹⁵  – according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 24:5 He sent young Israelite men, ¹⁶  and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls for peace offerings ¹⁷  to the Lord. 24:6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and half of the blood he splashed on the altar. ¹⁸  24:7 He took the Book of the Covenant ¹⁹  and read it aloud ²⁰  to the people, and they said, “We are willing to do and obey ²¹  all that the Lord has spoken.” 24:8 So Moses took the blood and splashed it on ²²  the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant ²³  that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
