It is repeatedly stated, in some of our best commentaries, that <a href="/context/leviticus/6-1.htm" title="And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,">Leviticus 6:1-7</a> form part of Leviticus 5 in the Hebrew Bible, and that our translators unfortunately adopted the division of the Septuagint, instead of following the Hebrew. Nothing can be more erroneous than this statement. The Hebrew Scriptures in manuscript have no division into chapters at all. The text is divided into sections, of which there are no less than 669 in the Pentateuch. The book of Leviticus has ninety-eight of these sections, while in our Authorised Version it has only twenty-seven chapters. The divisions into chapters, now to be found in the Hebrew Bibles, were adopted in the fourteenth century by the Jews from the Christians for polemical purposes, and the figures attached to each verse are of a still later period.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And the Lord spake.</span> The six following verses contain a separate communication from the Lord to Moses, but in continuance of the subject which began at <a href="/leviticus/5-14.htm">Leviticus 5:14</a>. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/6-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">said</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר</span> <span class="translit">(way·ḏab·bêr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> </span><span class="str2">To arrange, to speak, to subdue</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶל־</span> <span class="translit">(’el-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> </span><span class="str2">Near, with, among, to</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Moses,</span><br /><span class="heb">מֹשֶׁ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(mō·šeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> </span><span class="str2">Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/leviticus/6-1.htm">Leviticus 6:1 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/leviticus/6-1.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses saying (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/5-19.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 5:19"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 5:19" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/6-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 6:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 6:2" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
