4‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
6And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. 8And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.Cross References

Exodus 19:6 Summary
In Exodus 19:6, God tells the Israelites that they will be a special group of people, set apart to serve Him and represent Him to the world. This means they are to be holy, living according to God's commands and principles, and to serve as priests, helping others to know and love God. As believers today, we are also called to be a holy people and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), serving God and sharing His love with those around us. By understanding our role as God's treasured possession, we can live with purpose and meaning, knowing we are valued and loved by God (Deuteronomy 7:6).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be a kingdom of priests?
In Exodus 19:6, being a kingdom of priests means that the Israelites, and by extension all believers, are called to serve as mediators between God and the world, representing God's love and character to others, as seen in 1 Peter 2:9 where we are called a royal priesthood.
How can we be a holy nation?
To be a holy nation, as stated in Exodus 19:6, means to be set apart for God's purposes, living according to His commands and principles, as outlined in Leviticus 20:26, and striving to reflect His holiness in our lives.
What is the significance of being God's treasured possession?
As mentioned in Exodus 19:5, being God's treasured possession means that we are valued and loved by God above all else, and this status is not based on our own merits but on God's gracious choice, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:6 where Israel is called a treasured possession.
How does this verse relate to the New Testament concept of the church?
The idea of a kingdom of priests in Exodus 19:6 foreshadows the New Testament concept of the church as a body of believers who are called to be priests and ministers of reconciliation, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, serving God and representing Him to the world.
Reflection Questions

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 19:6
A kingdom of priests; so they are called in regard, 1. Of their exemption and separation from all the people of the world, as priests are taken out of the multitude of men. 2. Of their consecration to the worship and service of God, every subject of this kingdom being in some sort a priest to offer some kind of sacrifices to God, 3. Of their privileges, because God conferred upon them singular honour, safety, and immunity, and liberty of coming near to him, as priests among all nations have been esteemed privileged persons. An holy nation, purged from the idolatry and other abominations of the heathen world, and separated from them by a avail of partition; allied to me by a holy covenant, and consecrated to my use and service.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 19:6
Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.Ver. 6. A kingdom of priests.] A holy state, such as shall be all satiated with fatness.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 19:6
(6) A kingdom of priests.—All of them both “kings and priests unto God”—kings as lords over themselves, equals one to another, owing allegiance to God only—priests, as entitled to draw near to God in prayer without an intermediary, to bring Him their offerings, pay Him their vows, and hold communion with Him in heart and soul. The same privileges are declared by St. Peter (1 Peter 2:9) and St. John (Revelation 1:6) to belong to all Christians, who in this respect, as in so many others, are now “the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16). An holy nation.—It is not the duty of personal, but the privilege of official, holiness that is here intended. Each Israelite was to be as near to God, as fully entitled to approach Him, as the priests of other nations either were or thought themselves. Personal holiness was the natural and fitting outcome from this official holiness; but it is not here spoken of. God has, however, previously required it of Israel by the words “If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant” (Exodus 19:5).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 19:6
Verse 6. And a holy nation.] They should be a nation, one people; firmly united among themselves, living under their own laws; and powerful, because united, and acting under the direction and blessing of God. They should be a holy nation, saved from their sins, righteous in their conduct, holy in their hearts; every external rite being not only a significant ceremony, but also a means of conveying light and life, grace and peace, to every person who conscientiously used it. Thus they should be both a kingdom, having God for their governor; and a nation, a multitude of peoples connected together; not a scattered, disordered, and disorganized people, but a royal nation, using their own rites, living under their own laws, subject in religious matters only to God, and in things civil, to every ordinance of man for God's sake. This was the spirit and design of this wonderful institution, which could not receive its perfection but under the Gospel, and has its full accomplishment in every member of the mystical body of Christ.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 19:6
6. And ye (emph.)] in contrast to the other nations. a kingdom of priests] i.e. a kingdom whose citizens are all priests, living wholly in God’s service, and ever enjoying the right of access to Him. Comp., of the ideal future, Isaiah 61:6; and in the NT., of Christians, 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:6. an holy nation] separated from other nations, and holy to Jehovah. The expression implies not a promised privilege only, but also a duty: Israel, enjoying this privilege, is also (as is developed more fully in Dt.) under the obligation to make it a reality, to keep itself free from everything heathen, and fulfil the ideal of a holy nation upon earth. The expression is taken up in Dt. in the form ‘a holy people,’ Deuteronomy 7:6; Deuteronomy 14:2; Deuteronomy 14:21; Deuteronomy 26:19; cf. Isaiah 62:12 (the ideal of the future), 1 Peter 2:9.
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 19:6
A kingdom of priests - Israel collectively is a royal and priestly race: a dynasty of priests, each true member uniting in himself the attributes of a king and priest. Compare 1 Peter 2:5; Revelation 1:6.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 19:6
6. A kingdom of priests — The Septuagint renders, a royal priesthood, and the Vulgate, a sacerdotal kingdom, and both these ideas seem to inhere in the phrase. Jehovah proposes to make his chosen people a royal and priestly race.
