Moses, as the leader and prophet of Israel, serves as the intermediary between God and the people. This pattern of God speaking to Moses is consistent throughout the Pentateuch, underscoring Moses' unique role in receiving and conveying God's laws and instructions. The repetition of "the LORD said" highlights the authority and importance of the message that follows. This divine communication is foundational to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, as seen in other instances such as <a href="/exodus/19-3.htm">Exodus 19:3-6</a>, where God establishes the covenant at Sinai.
