Exodus 19:8

19:8 and all the people answered together, “All that the Lord has commanded we will do!” ¹  So Moses brought the words of the people back to the Lord.

Deuteronomy 5:27-29

5:27 You go near so that you can hear everything the Lord our God is saying and then you can tell us whatever he ²  says to you; then we will pay attention and do it.” 5:28 When the Lord heard you speaking to me, he ³  said to me, “I have heard what these people have said to you – they have spoken well. 5:29 If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey ⁴  all my commandments in the future, so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever.

[19:8]  ¹ tn The verb is an imperfect. The people are not being presumptuous in stating their compliance – there are several options open for the interpretation of this tense. It may be classified as having a desiderative nuance: “we are willing to do” or, “we will do.”

[5:27]  ² tn Heb “the Lord our God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

[5:28]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

[5:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “keep” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).
