A holy nation
And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said:
- Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the
children of Israel: You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians,
how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to
myself. If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you
shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all
the earth is mine. And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and
a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the
children of Israel.
