In the Hebrew text, the word for "people" is "עָם" (am), which often denotes a community bound by shared identity and purpose. Historically, this moment at Mount Sinai is pivotal as it marks the formation of Israel as a covenant community. The unity here is significant, as it reflects a communal commitment to God's covenant, a theme that resonates throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>answered together</b><br />The Hebrew root for "answered" is "עָנָה" (anah), which can mean to respond or to testify. The use of "together" underscores the unanimity and collective voice of the Israelites. This response is not just verbal but a profound act of communal affirmation. It signifies their readiness to enter into a covenant relationship with God, highlighting the importance of communal consent in the biblical narrative.<p><b>We will do</b><br />The phrase reflects a commitment to action. The Hebrew verb "עָשָׂה" (asah) means to do or to make, indicating a pledge to follow through with obedience. This declaration is a precursor to the giving of the Law, showing the people's willingness to adhere to God's commandments. It is a moment of faith and trust, as the Israelites commit to obeying God's will even before knowing all the details of the Law.<p><b>everything that the LORD</b><br />Here, "everything" signifies totality and completeness. The Israelites are not committing to selective obedience but to all that God commands. The use of "the LORD" (YHWH) is significant, as it is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His personal relationship with Israel. This highlights the seriousness of their commitment, as they are pledging to follow the directives of the covenant-keeping God.<p><b>has spoken</b><br />The Hebrew root "דָּבַר" (dabar) means to speak or declare. This phrase indicates that the Israelites are responding to the divine revelation given to them. It underscores the authority of God's word and the expectation that His people will listen and obey. The spoken word of God is central to the covenant relationship, as it conveys His will and purpose for His people.<p><b>So Moses brought their words back to the LORD</b><br />Moses acts as the mediator between God and the people. The Hebrew verb "שׁוּב" (shuv) means to return or bring back, indicating Moses' role in communicating the people's response to God. This highlights the importance of Moses as an intercessor and leader, facilitating the covenant relationship. It also reflects the dialogical nature of the covenant, where communication flows between God and His people through a chosen mediator.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) <span class= "bld">All the people answered together.</span>--There was no hesitation, no diversity of opinion, no self-distrust. In view of the great privileges offered to them, all were willing, nay, eager, to promise for themselves that "they would obey God's voice indeed, and keep his covenant." In the glow and warmth of their feelings the difficulty of perfect obedience did not occur to them.<p><span class= "bld">Moses returned the words</span>--i.e., "took them back," "reported them."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And all the people answered together.</span> It would seem that the elders submitted to the whole congregation the question propounded by Moses; or at any rate submitted it to a popular meeting, fairly representing the congregation. No doubt the exact purport of the question was made known by the usual means beforehand, and the assembly was summoned to declare, by acclamation, its assent or dissent. The result was a unanimous shout of approval: - "<span class="cmt_word">All that the Lord</span> <span class="cmt_word">hath spoken we will do"</span> - <span class="accented">i.e.</span>, "we will obey his voice indeed, and keep his covenant" (see ver. 5).
