Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and to receive the Law. This communication underscores the authority and sacredness of the instructions that follow. The phrase "the LORD said" is used frequently in the Torah, emphasizing the divine origin of the laws and commands given to Israel. It reflects the covenant relationship between God and His chosen people, where God provides guidance and instruction through His appointed leader. This direct communication also highlights the unique role of Moses as a prophet, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/34-10.htm">Deuteronomy 34:10</a>, where it is stated that no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks directly to Moses, providing divine instructions and laws for the people of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader and prophet of Israel, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and to mediate His laws and commandments to them.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, to whom the laws and instructions, including the Nazirite vow, are given.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/n/nazirite_vow.htm">Nazirite Vow</a></b><br>Although not explicitly mentioned in this verse, the context of <a href="/bsb/numbers/6.htm">Numbers 6</a> is the Nazirite vow, a special vow of dedication to the LORD, which involves specific regulations and commitments.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_communication.htm">Divine Communication</a></b><br>God speaks to His people through chosen leaders.
