And the LORD said to Moses,
This phrase indicates direct communication from God to Moses, a common occurrence in the Pentateuch, highlighting Moses' role as a prophet and leader of Israel. The LORD, represented by the tetragrammaton YHWH, emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and Israel. This communication underscores the divine authority behind the instructions that follow. Moses, as the mediator of God's law, is a type of Christ, who is the ultimate mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). Moses' leadership and prophetic role foreshadow the coming of Jesus, who fulfills the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17).
