Then the LORD
The phrase "Then the LORD" signifies a direct communication from God, emphasizing His authority and the divine origin of the instructions that follow. In Hebrew, "LORD" is represented by the tetragrammaton YHWH, which is the sacred and personal name of God. This name is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting His eternal presence and faithfulness. The use of "Then" indicates a continuation or response to previous instructions, suggesting an ongoing dialogue between God and His chosen leader, Moses.

said
The Hebrew word for "said" is "אָמַר" (amar), which is a common verb used throughout the Old Testament to denote speech or communication. In this context, it underscores the importance of divine revelation. God's words are not mere suggestions but authoritative commands that require obedience. This verb also implies clarity and purpose, as God's instructions are meant to guide His people in holiness and worship.

to Moses
Moses is the central human figure in the Pentateuch, serving as the mediator between God and the Israelites. His name, "מֹשֶׁה" (Moshe), is believed to be of Egyptian origin, meaning "drawn out," reflecting his miraculous rescue from the Nile. Moses' role as a prophet and leader is crucial, as he faithfully conveys God's laws and instructions to the people. This phrase highlights the unique relationship between God and Moses, characterized by direct communication and trust. Moses' leadership is foundational for the establishment of Israel's identity and covenantal relationship with God.

(8) And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying.--This is the fourth instance in which this formula is used (see Leviticus 4:1; Leviticus 5:14; Leviticus 6:1) in Leviticus, and, as in the former passages, introduces a further communication to the Lawgiver. Hitherto the law pointed out to the people under what circumstances and how they are to bring their sacred oblations, now directions are given to the priests how to conduct the sacrificial service of the people.

Verses 8-13. - (See note on Leviticus 1:3.) The further ritual of the burnt offering is exhibited in the particular instance of the lamb sacrificed every evening (Exodus 29:33). In other cases the ritual was to be the same. Instead of It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, the reading should be, It, the burnt offering (viz. the evening sacrifice), shall burn upon the hearth upon the altar all night unto the morning. The priest is to wear his priestly dress already appointed (Exodus 28:40) - which was a white linen garment, covering the whole person like a close-fitting English surplice, fastened by a sash - while he is actually officiating at the altar; and thus vested, he is to remove from the altar the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering, or rather, as it would be better translated, the ashes to which the fire hath reduced the burnt offering, and put them beside the altar, that is, on the ash-heap to the east of the altar. On leaving the court of the tabernacle, he is to change his dress, and to carry the ashes of the sacrifice without the camp unto a clean place. The priest is also instructed to lay fresh wood on the altar fire every morning, in preparation for the morning sacrifice of the lamb (Exodus 29:38). The fat of the peace offerings, that is, the parts of the peace offerings that were burnt on the altar, were laid on the burnt offering. The altar fire was never to go out, because the daily sacrifices constantly burning on the altar symbolized the unceasing worship of God by Israel, and the gracious acceptance of Israel by God. The ever-burning sacrifice was the token of the people being in communion with God.
