The LORD
This phrase refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). In Hebrew, it is represented by the Tetragrammaton YHWH, which signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature. The use of "The LORD" here emphasizes God's authority and His role as the divine initiator of the events that follow. It is a reminder of His sovereignty and faithfulness to His promises, particularly the promise to deliver Israel from Egyptian bondage.

said
The Hebrew word used here is "אָמַר" (amar), which means to speak, declare, or command. This word indicates direct communication from God, underscoring the importance and divine origin of the message. It highlights the personal relationship God maintains with His chosen leaders, Moses and Aaron, and His active involvement in the unfolding narrative of Israel's deliverance.

to Moses and Aaron
Moses and Aaron are central figures in the Exodus narrative. Moses, whose name means "drawn out" in Hebrew, is the primary leader and prophet chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Aaron, his brother, serves as his spokesperson and later becomes the first high priest of Israel. The mention of both names together signifies the partnership and shared responsibility in carrying out God's commands. Historically, this reflects the importance of leadership and obedience in fulfilling God's purposes. Moses and Aaron's roles also foreshadow the prophetic and priestly offices that are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is both our Prophet and High Priest.
