and so as to teach
The Hebrew root for "teach" is "yarah," which means to instruct or direct. This word is often used in the context of imparting wisdom or guidance. In the ancient Israelite society, teaching was not merely an academic exercise but a sacred duty. The priests were responsible for ensuring that the people understood God's laws, which were integral to maintaining a covenant relationship with Him. This highlights the importance of spiritual education and the transmission of divine truth from one generation to the next.

the Israelites
The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. This designation is significant as it underscores the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel. Historically, the Israelites were chosen to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6). This calling required them to live according to God's statutes, setting them apart from other nations. The identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people is central to understanding their unique role in redemptive history.

all the statutes
The word "statutes" comes from the Hebrew "choq," which refers to decrees or laws that are prescribed by God. These statutes were not arbitrary rules but were designed to reflect God's holy character and to guide the Israelites in righteous living. The comprehensive nature of "all the statutes" emphasizes the completeness and sufficiency of God's law. It serves as a reminder that every aspect of life is to be governed by divine principles, ensuring that the community remains in harmony with God's will.

that the LORD
The name "LORD" in all capital letters represents the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, which is the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant faithfulness. The use of "LORD" in this context reinforces the authority and divine origin of the statutes. It is a reminder that the laws given to Israel are not human inventions but are commands from the sovereign Creator.

has given them
The phrase "has given" indicates the divine initiative in the communication of the law. The Hebrew verb "natan" means to give or bestow, highlighting God's gracious act of providing His statutes to the Israelites. This gift of the law is an expression of God's love and care for His people, providing them with a framework for living in a way that pleases Him and leads to blessing.

through Moses
Moses is the mediator through whom God delivered His laws to the Israelites. As a prophet and leader, Moses holds a unique position in Israel's history. His role as the lawgiver is foundational, as he is the one who received the commandments on Mount Sinai and communicated them to the people. This underscores the importance of faithful leadership and the responsibility of those who are called to convey God's truth to others. Moses' life and ministry serve as a model of obedience and dedication to God's purposes.

(11) And that ye may teach.--The priests were not only to keep sober to be able to decide the questions of ritual, but they were to teach the people, since the ceremonial law affected domestic life and social intercourse (Deuteronomy 33:10; Malachi 2:7). For neglecting these duties, the prophet charges them :--"Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the profane, neither have they showed difference [i.e., taught the people the difference] between the unclean and the clean" (Ezekiel 22:26).

Verse 11. - That ye may teach the children of Israel. This shows that one part of the priest's office was teaching the Law (cf. Deuteronomy 24:8; Malachi 2:7).
