The LORD
The term "LORD" in this context is derived from the Hebrew name "Yahweh," which is the covenant name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. In the conservative Christian perspective, Yahweh is seen as the unchanging and sovereign God who is intimately involved in the lives of His people. This invocation of "The LORD" underscores the authority and divine origin of the message that follows, reminding the reader of God's ultimate control and His role as the righteous judge of Israel.

said
The Hebrew word for "said" is "amar," which is a common verb used throughout the Old Testament to denote speech or communication. In this context, it emphasizes the direct communication between God and His chosen leaders, Moses and Aaron. This divine speech acts as a reminder of the unique relationship between God and His prophets, through whom He reveals His will and guidance to His people. The use of "said" here highlights the importance of listening to God's voice and the weight of His words, which carry authority and demand obedience.

to Moses and Aaron
Moses and Aaron are central figures in the narrative of the Exodus and the wilderness journey of the Israelites. Moses, as the leader and prophet, and Aaron, as the high priest, were chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. Their mention here signifies their roles as intermediaries between God and the Israelites. Historically, Moses is seen as a type of Christ, a deliverer and mediator, while Aaron represents the priestly function, pointing to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ. The inclusion of both names emphasizes the collaborative leadership ordained by God and the importance of spiritual and administrative guidance in the community of faith.

Verse 26. - And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron. This communication is clearly by way of continuation and amplification of the sentence briefly pronounced above. It is markedly distinguished from the latter, as being

(1) spoken to Aaron as well as to Moses;

(2) addressed through them to the people at large.

The one was the Divine answer to the effectual pleading of the mediator; the other the Divine reply to the rebellious cries of the people. The two are blended together in the narrative of Deuteronomy 1.
