7. Moses came back and called the elders of Israel together and set before them all these words which God had commanded him.
8. The people were unanimous in their response: “Everything God says, we will do.” Moses took the people’s answer back to God.
9. God said to Moses, “Get ready. I’m about to come to you in a thick cloud so that the people can listen in and trust you completely when I speak with you.” Again Moses reported the people’s answer to God.
