4 And Moses ^awrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve ^bpillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered ^aburnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.

6 And Moses ^atook half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 Then he ^atook the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.”

8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is ^athe blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”
