Then
The word "Then" serves as a continuation from the previous chapter, indicating a sequence of divine instructions. In the Hebrew text, this is often implied rather than explicitly stated, but it signifies the ongoing revelation from God to His chosen leader, Moses. This continuation underscores the structured and orderly nature of God's communication, reflecting His desire for clarity and precision in His laws.

the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, often vocalized as Yahweh. This name emphasizes God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with Israel. It is a reminder of His holiness, sovereignty, and faithfulness. The use of "LORD" here highlights the divine authority behind the instructions that follow, reinforcing the sacredness of the laws being given.

said
The word "said" is derived from the Hebrew "amar," which means to speak, declare, or command. This verb indicates direct communication from God, emphasizing the importance and divine origin of the message. It reflects the personal nature of God's interaction with Moses, showing that God is not distant but actively involved in guiding His people.

to Moses
Moses, whose name in Hebrew is "Moshe," is the central human figure in the Pentateuch, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and to receive the Law. His role as a mediator between God and the people is crucial, as he faithfully conveys God's commandments. The mention of Moses here reaffirms his unique position as a prophet and leader, entrusted with the divine instructions that would shape the spiritual and communal life of Israel.

XIV.

(1) And the Lord spake unto Moses.--The regulations for the purification of the leper are delivered to Moses alone, who is to communicate them to Aaron and his sons, whilst the rules by which the distemper is to be discerned were given both to Moses and Aaron. (See Leviticus 13:1.) The reason for this is probably that Moses was designed by God as the great law-giver and teacher of the priesthood as well as of the laity.

THE FORM OF PURIFICATION OF THE LEPER (Leviticus 14:1-32). This is the most minute of all the forms of purification, those for purification from contact with a dead body (Numbers 19) and for the cleansing of a defiled Nazarite (Numbers 6) being alone to be compared with it in this respect. Some purifications were accomplished, as we have seen, in a very summary manner: one who touched the carcass of a beast that had died a natural death had only to wash his clothes (Leviticus 11:40). The greater and more significative the defilement, the more careful and the more significative must be the cleansing. Leprous uncleanness excluded the leper both from the camp and from the sanctuary, from the rights both of citizen. ship and of Church-membership, with which the rights of the family were also associated; consequently there had to be a double form of restoration, each with its special ceremonies. The manner of the first reconciliation is detailed in verses 1-8, of the second in verses 9-32.
