the LORD said to me,
This phrase indicates direct communication from God to Moses, emphasizing the prophetic nature of Moses' leadership. Throughout the Pentateuch, God frequently speaks to Moses, guiding him and the Israelites. This divine communication underscores the authority of Moses' leadership and the divine origin of the laws and instructions given to Israel. In the broader biblical context, God speaking directly to His chosen leaders is a recurring theme, seen with figures like Abraham, Samuel, and the prophets. This direct revelation is foundational for the covenant relationship between God and His people. It also prefigures the ultimate revelation of God through Jesus Christ, who is described as the Word made flesh (John 1:14), indicating the fullest expression of God's communication with humanity.
