King James Bible
"And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD."
The entire Israelite community responds in unanimous agreement at Mount Sinai, demonstrating remarkable unity. This collective voice represents a pivotal moment where the nation formally accepts their covenant relationship with God before even hearing the specific commandments. Israel commits to complete obedience to God's words, making a blanket promise of faithfulness. This declaration becomes the foundation of the Sinai covenant, though their subsequent history reveals the difficulty of keeping such an absolute vow. Moses fulfills his mediator role, carrying the people's response back to God on the mountain. This back-and-forth communication pattern establishes Moses as the covenant intermediary, a position that defines his leadership throughout the wilderness period.
