Then the LORD
The phrase "Then the LORD" signifies a direct communication from God, emphasizing His active role in guiding the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the sacred and personal name of God, which underscores His covenant relationship with His people. This divine name is a reminder of God's eternal presence and faithfulness. In the context of Numbers, it highlights God's ongoing involvement in the lives of the Israelites as they journey through the wilderness, providing them with laws and instructions to maintain holiness and order within the community.

said
The word "said" indicates a verbal communication from God to Moses. In Hebrew, the word is "amar," which is often used in the context of divine speech. This conveys the authority and importance of the message being delivered. God's words are not mere suggestions but commands that carry weight and require obedience. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as the ultimate lawgiver and the source of wisdom and truth.

to Moses
Moses is the chosen leader and prophet through whom God communicates His will to the Israelites. His role as a mediator is crucial, as he stands between God and the people, receiving divine instructions and conveying them to the community. Historically, Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. His relationship with God is characterized by intimacy and reverence, making him a model of faithful leadership. Moses' unique position underscores the importance of obedience and faithfulness in fulfilling God's purposes.
