Exodus 24-26

When Moses went and told the people all the Lord’s words and laws, they responded with one voice, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.” Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said.He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord. Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he splashed against the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.” (Exodus 24:3-7)

The Israeli people's commitment is invited several times and at multiple levels. Notice: Moses tells the people of the LORD's laws; and they respond, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.” He writes down the LORD's laws; and they respond with burnt offerings and blood sacrifices. Moses reads the LORD's laws as they have been recorded; and the Israeli people again swear, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.”
