And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
This phrase indicates divine communication, emphasizing the authority and sacredness of the instructions that follow. The LORD, or Yahweh, is the covenant name of God, highlighting His relationship with Israel. Moses and Aaron are central figures in the Exodus narrative, with Moses as the leader and prophet, and Aaron as the high priest. This dual address underscores the importance of both leadership and priesthood in conveying and implementing God's laws. The context is the wilderness period after the Exodus, where God is establishing a holy community. This communication is part of the Holiness Code, which outlines how Israel is to live as God's chosen people. The phrase sets the stage for the detailed laws concerning ritual purity, which are crucial for maintaining the sanctity of the community and the tabernacle. This divine instruction reflects God's desire for order and holiness among His people, a theme that resonates throughout the Pentateuch and is echoed in the New Testament call for believers to be holy.

(1) And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron.--This chapter, which lays down the laws of uncleanness arising from issues, discusses two diseased and three natural secretions.

RUNNING ISSUES FROM THE HUMAN BODY. These are the fourth cause of ceremonial uncleanness. We are not to look for a moral basis for the regulation on account of any vicious habit connected with such issues. They are foul and repulsive, and simply for that reason they are causes of ceremonial uncleanness to those who suffer from them, and to those who crone in contact with persons suffering from them.
