So Moses did
This phrase highlights the immediate obedience of Moses, a central figure in the Old Testament. The Hebrew root for "did" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. Moses' actions are a testament to his faithfulness and dedication to God's commands. In a broader scriptural context, Moses' obedience serves as a model for believers, emphasizing the importance of acting upon God's instructions without hesitation. His life is a continuous narrative of responding to God's call, demonstrating that true leadership in the faith community is marked by submission to divine will.

as the LORD had commanded him
The phrase underscores the divine authority and the specificity of God's instructions. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is צָוָה (tsavah), which conveys the idea of giving orders or directives. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God, as the sovereign Lord, provides guidance and direction. Historically, this obedience is set against the backdrop of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, a period marked by rebellion and divine instruction. Moses' compliance is not just a personal act of faith but a necessary step in maintaining the order and sanctity of the community. It serves as a reminder that God's commands are not arbitrary but are given for the well-being and spiritual growth of His people. Moses' adherence to God's command is a call for believers to trust in God's wisdom and to follow His guidance with a willing heart.
