This divine communication underscores the authority and sacredness of the instructions that follow. In the context of Numbers, God often speaks to Moses to provide laws and guidelines for the Israelites as they journey through the wilderness. This reflects the covenant relationship established at Sinai, where God gave the Law to Moses for the people. The phrase also highlights the role of Moses as a prophet, a leader chosen by God to guide His people, which is affirmed in <a href="/deuteronomy/34-10.htm">Deuteronomy 34:10</a>, where it states that no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.
