Then
The word "Then" serves as a transitional term, indicating a continuation or sequence of events. In the context of Leviticus, it connects the preceding instructions and laws with the new directives that God is about to give. This continuity underscores the structured and orderly nature of God's communication with His people. It reminds us that God's revelations and instructions are purposeful and timely, fitting into His divine plan for Israel.

the LORD
The term "the LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with Israel. It is a reminder of God's holiness, sovereignty, and faithfulness. In Leviticus, the frequent use of "the LORD" emphasizes that the laws and instructions are not merely human constructs but divine mandates from the Creator Himself.

said
The word "said" indicates direct communication from God to Moses. In Hebrew, the verb "amar" is used, which conveys not just speaking but authoritative declaration. This highlights the importance of the message being delivered. God's words are not suggestions but commands that carry divine authority. This underscores the seriousness with which the Israelites were to receive and obey these instructions.

to Moses
Moses is the chosen leader and prophet through whom God communicates His laws to the Israelites. His role as mediator is crucial, as he stands between God and the people, receiving divine instructions and conveying them to the nation. Moses' unique relationship with God is characterized by direct communication, as seen throughout the Pentateuch. This phrase reminds us of the importance of faithful leadership and obedience to God's chosen messengers in the unfolding of His divine will.

VI.

(1) And the Lord spake.--Like Leviticus 5:14, which begins with the same introductory formula, this is a further communication made to the lawgiver wherein other instances are specified which require a trespass offering. It is repeatedly stated, in some of our best commentaries, that Leviticus 6:1-7 form part of Leviticus 5 in the Hebrew Bible, and that our translators unfortunately adopted the division of the Septuagint, instead of following the Hebrew. Nothing can be more erroneous than this statement. The Hebrew Scriptures in manuscript have no division into chapters at all. The text is divided into sections, of which there are no less than 669 in the Pentateuch. The book of Leviticus has ninety-eight of these sections, while in our Authorised Version it has only twenty-seven chapters. The divisions into chapters, now to be found in the Hebrew Bibles, were adopted in the fourteenth century by the Jews from the Christians for polemical purposes, and the figures attached to each verse are of a still later period.

Verse 1. - And the Lord spake. The six following verses contain a separate communication from the Lord to Moses, but in continuance of the subject which began at Leviticus 5:14.
