The law of burnt offerings3. of the herd 10. of the flocks 14. of the fowls Then the LORD called to Moses This phrase indicates a direct communication from God to Moses, emphasizing the divine origin of the instructions that follow. The LORD, represented by the tetragrammaton YHWH, is the covenant name of God, highlighting His personal relationship with Israel. Moses, as the leader and mediator of the Israelites, is often the recipient of God's commands. This calling signifies the continuation of the divine guidance that began in Exodus, where Moses was chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The calling of Moses also prefigures the role of Christ as the ultimate mediator between God and humanity, as seen in 1 Timothy 2:5. and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting saying, Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His relationship with Israel. 2. Moses The prophet and leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and to receive the Law. 3. Tent of Meeting (Tabernacle) A sacred place where God’s presence dwelled among the Israelites, serving as the central place of worship and communication with God. Teaching Points God's Initiative in CommunicationGod takes the initiative to communicate with His people, demonstrating His desire for a relationship with them. This reminds us to be attentive to God's voice in our lives today. The Role of Mediators Moses serves as a mediator between God and the Israelites, foreshadowing Christ as our ultimate mediator. We are encouraged to rely on Christ for our relationship with God. The Importance of Sacred Spaces The Tent of Meeting was a designated place for encountering God. We should create and honor spaces in our lives dedicated to worship and communion with God. Obedience to Divine Instructions The instructions given to Moses were to be followed precisely. This teaches us the importance of obedience to God's Word in our daily lives. God's Presence Among His People The presence of God in the Tent of Meeting signifies His desire to dwell among His people. We are reminded of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in believers today.(1) And the Lord called . . . and spake.--Rather, And he called unto Moses, and the Lord spake, &c. (See Leviticus 8:15.) At the end of the previous book we are told that when the tent of meeting was completed, the Lord showed His approbation of it by covering the outside of the edifice with a heaven-sent cloud, and by filling the inside with His glory (Exodus 40:34-38). He therefore, who had filled the sanctuary with his glory now "called unto Moses," thus indicating by "And he called," which are one word in the original, the intimate connection between the two books. The ancient Jewish synagogue already pointed out the fact that this unusual phrase, "And he called unto Moses," is used as an introductory formula on the three different occasions when the Lord made a special communication to this great law-giver. Thus when the Lord first communicated to Moses that He was about to deliver the Israelites from Egypt, "He called unto him" from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4). When the Lord was about to give to Moses the Ten Commandments for the people of Israel, "He called unto him" from the top of Sinai (Exodus 19:3; Exodus 19:20); and now when the Lord is about to give to His chosen people, through His servant Moses, the laws by which their Divine worship is to be regulated, "He called unto him" from the tent of meeting (Leviticus 1:1). . . . Verse 1. - And the LORD called unto Moses. The first word of the verse, in the original Vayikra, meaning "and called," has been taken as the designation of the book in the Hebrew Bible. The title Leviticon, or Leviticus, was first adopted by the LXX., to indicate that it had for its main subject the duties and functions appertaining to the chief house of the priestly tribe of Levi. The word "and" connects the third with the second book of the Pentateuch. God is spoken of in this and in the next book almost exclusively under the appellation of "the LORD" or "Jehovah," the word "Elohim" being, however, used sufficiently often to identify the two names. Cf. Leviticus 2:13, 19:12. And spake unto him. The manner in which God ordinarily communicated with a prophet was by "a vision" or "in a dream;" but this was not the case with Moses; "My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house; with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently" (Numbers 12:8). The Levitical code of laws, therefore, was delivered to Moses in his ordinary mental state, not in trance, or dream, or ecstasy. Out of the tabernacle of the congregation. The tabernacle had just been set up by Moses (Exodus 40:16). It derives its name of the congregation, or rather of meeting, from being the place where God met the representatives of his people (see Numbers 16:42). Hitherto God had spoken from the mount, now he speaks from the mercy-seat of the ark in the tabernacle. He had symbolically drawn near to his people, and the sacrificial system is now instituted as the means by which they should draw nigh to him. All the laws in the Book of Leviticus, and in the first ten chapters of the Book of Numbers, were given during the fifty days which intervened between the setting up of the tabernacle (Exodus 40:17) and the departure of the children of Israel from the neighbourhood of Mount Sinai (Numbers 10:11).
