With 'one voice,' they agreed to obey all the laws Moses relayed from God, which scholars identify as the 'Book of the Covenant' (Exodus 21-23). This willing acceptance formed their side of the covenant, even if, as one scholar notes, they did not yet fully understand the difficulty of perfect obedience.
