The if you do this I will do that, does not indicate that a contract or covenant has been entered yet. If there had been a covenant entered into already, then the proposal becomes law. |
The covenant was clearly accepted in verse 8.
Exodus 19:8 (AV)
And all the people answered together, and said,
All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.
And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
