Thus the Israelites did
This phrase underscores the obedience of the Israelites to divine instruction. The Hebrew root for "did" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This verb is often used in the context of fulfilling God's commands, highlighting the active participation of the Israelites in God's plan. Historically, this obedience is significant as it reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where adherence to His commands was a sign of faithfulness and trust.

everything
The term "everything" signifies completeness and totality. In Hebrew, the word כֹּל (kol) is used, which means all or every. This indicates that the Israelites did not selectively obey but followed all instructions given to them. This comprehensive obedience is a model for believers, emphasizing that partial obedience is not sufficient in the eyes of God. It reflects a heart fully committed to God's will.

just as the LORD had commanded
The phrase "just as the LORD had commanded" highlights the precision and exactness required in following God's instructions. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is צָוָה (tsavah), which means to command, charge, or appoint. This reflects the authoritative nature of God's word and the expectation that His commands are to be followed without deviation. It underscores the importance of Scripture as the ultimate guide for life and faith, where God's commands are not suggestions but divine mandates.

Moses
Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, serving as the mediator between God and the Israelites. His name in Hebrew, מֹשֶׁה (Moshe), is derived from the verb מָשָׁה (mashah), meaning to draw out, reflecting his rescue from the Nile. Moses' role as a leader and prophet is pivotal, as he faithfully conveys God's commands to the people. His leadership is a testament to the importance of faithful stewardship and the responsibility of those who are called to lead God's people.
