and the LORD
The phrase "and the LORD" refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). In Hebrew, this is "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The use of "the LORD" here emphasizes the direct communication and authority of God in the narrative. It reminds us of God's sovereignty and His active role in guiding and correcting His people. Historically, the Israelites understood this name as a reminder of God's deliverance and ongoing relationship with them.

said
The word "said" in Hebrew is "אָמַר" (amar), which is a common verb used throughout the Old Testament to denote speech. In this context, it signifies a divine command or communication. The use of "said" highlights the personal and direct nature of God's interaction with Moses. It underscores the importance of listening to God's voice and the weight of His words. In the broader scriptural context, God's speech is creative and authoritative, as seen in Genesis 1, where God speaks creation into existence.

to Moses
Moses, whose name in Hebrew is "מֹשֶׁה" (Moshe), is the central human figure in the Pentateuch. He is God's chosen leader to bring the Israelites out of Egypt and to guide them through the wilderness. The phrase "to Moses" indicates the special relationship and communication channel between God and Moses. Moses is often seen as a mediator between God and the people, a role that prefigures Christ as the ultimate mediator. Historically, Moses' leadership and prophetic role were foundational for the identity and faith of Israel. This phrase also reminds us of the importance of faithful leadership and obedience to God's instructions.
