These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws
This phrase encapsulates the comprehensive nature of God's covenantal instructions to Israel. The Hebrew words used here are "חֻקִּים" (chukkim) for statutes, "מִשְׁפָּטִים" (mishpatim) for ordinances, and "תּוֹרוֹת" (torot) for laws. Each term reflects a different aspect of divine instruction: "chukkim" often refers to decrees that may not be immediately understandable but are to be followed out of obedience; "mishpatim" are judgments or decisions that often have a moral or ethical basis; and "torot" is the plural of "Torah," indicating teachings or instructions. This triad underscores the multifaceted nature of God's guidance, covering moral, ceremonial, and civil aspects of life. Historically, these terms reflect the ancient Near Eastern context where law codes were central to societal governance, yet here they are divinely ordained, emphasizing God's sovereignty and holiness.

that the LORD established
The Hebrew word for "established" is "נָתַן" (natan), meaning to give or set in place. This indicates that these laws are not merely human constructs but are divinely instituted. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) highlights the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where God is the ultimate authority. This divine establishment signifies a binding agreement, akin to ancient suzerain-vassal treaties, where the suzerain (God) provides laws for the vassal (Israel) to follow, ensuring protection and blessing in return for obedience.

between Himself and the Israelites
This phrase emphasizes the relational aspect of the covenant. The Hebrew word "בֵּין" (bein) means "between," indicating a mutual relationship. The Israelites are not just passive recipients but active participants in this covenant. This relationship is unique, as it sets Israel apart from other nations, chosen to be a holy people (Exodus 19:5-6). The covenant is both communal and individual, affecting every aspect of life and requiring collective and personal adherence.

through Moses
Moses is the mediator of this covenant, a role that is crucial in the biblical narrative. The Hebrew preposition "בְּיַד" (beyad) is often translated as "through" or "by the hand of," indicating agency. Moses, as God's chosen leader, acts as the intermediary between God and the people. His role prefigures the ultimate mediator, Jesus Christ, in the New Testament, who establishes a new covenant through His sacrifice (Hebrews 9:15).

on Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai is a significant location in biblical history, where God revealed Himself to Moses and gave the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew "בְּהַר סִינַי" (behar Sinai) signifies not just a physical location but a place of divine encounter and revelation. Archaeologically, while the exact location of Mount Sinai is debated, its significance is undisputed as the site of God's covenantal revelation. This mountain becomes a symbol of God's law and His presence, a place where heaven and earth meet, and where God's holiness is profoundly manifested.

(46) These are the statutes and judgments.--That is, the statutes and judgments contained in Leviticus 25:1 to Leviticus 26:45.

In Mount Sinai.--That is, in the mountainous district of Sinai. This group of statutes therefore concludes with the very phrase with which it began (see Leviticus 25:1), thus showing that it forms a section by itself.

Verse 46. - This is the closing paragraph of the Book of Leviticus; to which another chapter has been added, in the form of an appendix, on the subject of vows.
