    Brief Summary: The statement IF YOU WILL OBSERVE MY CONVENANT (Ex19-05b) REFERENCES Ex24-07 which refers to the 10 commandments as THE BOOK OF THE CONVENANT

Verse Ex19-05b discussing the requirement of accepting God's convenant as a prerequisite to obtaining God's assistance in becoming a priestly holy nation states Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; Rashi notes that the underlined words, keep my convenant references verses Ex24-07 discussing the establishment of the convenant (acceptance of the 10 commandments) Hence the Rashi comment The statement in Ex19-05b that the Jews must accept God's convenant echoes the acceptance of the book of the convenant, the 10 commandments, mentioned in Ex24-07.

Text of Target Verse Ex19-05b Text of Reference Verse Ex24-05:08
Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. And he took the Book of the Covenant, and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, All that the Lord has said will we do, and obey. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.
Rashi comments: The statement in Ex19-05b that the Jews must accept God's convenant echoes the acceptance of the book of the convenant, the 10 commandments, mentioned in Ex24-07.
