And Moses said
Moses, the central figure in the Pentateuch, acts as the intermediary between God and the Israelites. His role as a prophet and leader is crucial, as he conveys God's commands to the people. The Hebrew root for "said" is "אָמַר" (amar), which implies not just speaking but declaring or commanding with authority. Moses' words are not his own but are divinely inspired, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's instructions.

This is what the LORD has commanded you to do
The phrase underscores the divine origin of the instructions. "The LORD" refers to "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, highlighting His personal relationship with Israel. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is "צִוָּה" (tsavah), which conveys a sense of authoritative instruction. This command is not optional; it is a divine mandate. The historical context here is the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests, a pivotal moment in establishing the Levitical priesthood.

so that the glory of the LORD
The "glory" (Hebrew: "כָּבוֹד," kavod) of the LORD refers to His manifest presence and majesty. In the Old Testament, God's glory often appears as a visible sign, such as a cloud or fire, symbolizing His holiness and power. The Israelites' understanding of God's glory is deeply rooted in their experiences, such as the pillar of cloud and fire during the Exodus. This phrase indicates that obedience to God's commands is directly linked to experiencing His presence.

may appear to you
The Hebrew root for "appear" is "רָאָה" (ra'ah), meaning to see or behold. This suggests a tangible, visible manifestation of God's presence. The historical context is significant; the Israelites are in the wilderness, and God's presence is a source of guidance and assurance. The appearance of God's glory is contingent upon their obedience, reinforcing the covenant relationship between God and His people. This serves as a powerful reminder that God's presence is both a privilege and a responsibility, contingent upon faithfulness to His commands.

(6) And Moses said.--As the people now stood assembled in the court and around it, Moses explained to them the import of the ritual which they were about to witness in the presence of the Lord.
