Exodus

Exodus 24:6–8

⁶Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he splattered on the altar. ⁷Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

⁸So Moses took the blood, splattered it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”^a
