現在，倘若你們認真聽從我的話，遵守我的約，就必在萬民中做我的子民，因為普天下都是我的。

現在我決心要與以色列的上帝耶和華立約，好使祂的烈怒轉離我們。

「以色列的上帝耶和華說，『我曾帶領你們的祖先離開埃及，使他們不再受奴役，那時我與他們立約說，倘若你們的希伯來同胞賣身做你們的奴隸，服侍你們六年後，到第七年你們要給他們自由。你們的祖先卻掩耳不聽。不久前，你們回心轉意，做我視為正的事，釋放自己的同胞，並且在我的殿中立了約。然而，你們卻反悔，各自抓回先前釋放的奴隸，再次奴役他們，褻瀆了我的名。

王站在自己的位置上，在耶和華面前立約，要全心全意地跟隨耶和華，遵從祂的一切誡命、法度和律例，履行約書上的規定。

耶何耶大讓民眾和王與他一起立約，要做耶和華的子民。

耶何耶大讓王及民眾與耶和華立約，做耶和華的子民，也讓王與民眾立約。
