Then the LORD said to Moses
Then
The word "then" serves as a temporal marker, indicating a sequence of events. In the context of Numbers 25, it follows the zealous act of Phinehas, who intervened to stop a plague among the Israelites. This word underscores the immediacy and directness of God's communication in response to human actions. It reminds us that God is actively involved in the affairs of His people and responds to their faithfulness and obedience.

the LORD
The term "LORD" in all capital letters is a translation of the Hebrew name for God, YHWH, often pronounced as Yahweh. This is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. In the context of Numbers 25, it highlights God's personal involvement with Israel and His authority to judge and to bless. The use of this name reassures believers of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His covenant people.

said
The verb "said" indicates direct communication from God to Moses. In the Hebrew text, the word used is "אָמַר" (amar), which conveys not just speaking but also the authority and intention behind the words. This divine speech acts as a revelation of God's will and purpose. It is a reminder that God speaks to His people, providing guidance, correction, and encouragement through His Word.

to Moses
Moses is the recipient of God's message, highlighting his role as the mediator between God and the Israelites. As the leader chosen by God, Moses is responsible for conveying God's instructions to the people. This phrase underscores the importance of godly leadership and the responsibility of leaders to faithfully communicate God's truth. Moses' relationship with God serves as a model for believers, illustrating the importance of obedience and faithfulness in fulfilling God's calling.

Verse 10. - The Lord spake unto Moses, saying. On the Divine commendation here bestowed upon the act of Phinehas see the note at the end of the chapter. In the Hebrew Bible a new section begins here.
