The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan records one of the most consequential sentences ever spoken by a people: "All the people responded together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses carried back the words of the people before the Lord" (Exodus 19:8).
The Aramaic emphasizes together — echoing the earlier "of one heart" (Exodus 19:2). The same unity that made Israel fit to encamp at Sinai now makes them fit to answer it. There is no dissent recorded. No faction breaks off to negotiate terms. The response is immediate and collective.
The famous expansion of this response, na'aseh v'nishma — "we will do and we will hear" — comes in Exodus 24:7, but the Targum already establishes the pattern here. Israel agrees before the Ten Commandments are articulated. They say yes to a covenant whose contents they do not fully know.
The rabbis of the Talmud (Shabbat 88a) marvel at this. A heavenly voice, they say, called out that Israel had revealed a divine secret — the angels' own order of service is to do first and understand second. In saying yes before asking what, Israel was mirroring the structure of heaven.
Moses then "carried back the words of the people before the Lord" — a liturgical shuttling between earth and heaven. The takeaway: sometimes the most consequential yes is the one given before the terms are fully known, when trust in the covenanting partner is the only evidence you have.
