These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws
This phrase refers to the comprehensive set of rules given by God to the Israelites. The statutes, ordinances, and laws encompass moral, ceremonial, and civil aspects of life, reflecting God's holiness and His desire for His people to be set apart. The use of three terms emphasizes the completeness and thoroughness of God's instructions. These laws are foundational to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, serving as a guide for righteous living and worship.

that the LORD established
The LORD, Yahweh, is the covenant-keeping God who initiates and establishes these laws. This highlights His authority and sovereignty. The establishment of these laws signifies a formal and binding agreement, underscoring the seriousness of the covenant. It reflects God's desire for order and justice among His people, and His commitment to their well-being.

between Himself and the Israelites
This covenant is specifically between God and the nation of Israel, setting them apart as His chosen people. It signifies a unique relationship, where Israel is to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This relationship is central to the identity of Israel and is a precursor to the new covenant established through Jesus Christ, which extends to all believers.

through Moses
Moses is the mediator of the covenant, chosen by God to lead the Israelites and communicate His laws. His role as a prophet and leader is crucial, as he acts as an intermediary between God and the people. Moses' leadership and faithfulness are pivotal in the history of Israel, and he is often seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate mediator of the new covenant.

on Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai is the geographical location where God revealed Himself and His laws to Moses. It is a place of divine encounter and revelation, symbolizing God's presence and holiness. The events at Mount Sinai are foundational to Israel's identity and faith, marking the formal giving of the Law. This location is significant in biblical history and is often referenced in both the Old and New Testaments as a symbol of God's covenant and revelation.

Persons / Places / Events

2. The Israelites

3. Moses
The prophet and leader through whom God communicated His laws to the Israelites.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Covenant
God's relationship with Israel is based on a covenant, highlighting His commitment and faithfulness. This covenant is foundational for understanding the rest of the Old Testament.

The Role of the Law
The statutes, ordinances, and laws serve as a guide for holy living, setting Israel apart as God's people. They reflect God's character and His desire for His people to live in a way that honors Him.

Moses as Mediator
Moses acts as a mediator between God and Israel, prefiguring Christ as the ultimate mediator of a new and better covenant.

The Significance of Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai is a place of divine revelation and covenant-making, reminding believers of the seriousness and holiness of God's commands.

Application to Modern Believers
While Christians are not under the Old Testament law, the principles of holiness, obedience, and covenant relationship with God remain relevant. Believers are called to live in a way that reflects God's character and honors the new covenant through Christ.(46) These are the statutes and judgments.--That is, the statutes and judgments contained in Leviticus 25:1 to Leviticus 26:45.

In Mount Sinai.--That is, in the mountainous district of Sinai. This group of statutes therefore concludes with the very phrase with which it began (see Leviticus 25:1), thus showing that it forms a section by itself.

Verse 46. - This is the closing paragraph of the Book of Leviticus; to which another chapter has been added, in the form of an appendix, on the subject of vows.
