Then
The word "Then" serves as a transitional term, indicating a continuation of the narrative and instructions that God is providing to Moses. It suggests a sequence of divine communication, emphasizing the ongoing relationship and dialogue between God and His chosen leader, Moses. This continuity is crucial in understanding the unfolding of God's covenantal instructions to the Israelites.

the LORD
The term "the LORD" is a translation of the Hebrew name "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This is the personal and covenantal name of God, signifying His eternal, self-existent nature. It is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His unique relationship with Israel. The use of this name underscores the authority and holiness of the instructions that follow, as they come directly from the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

said
The word "said" indicates direct communication from God to Moses. In the Hebrew context, this verb implies not just speaking, but conveying authoritative and binding instructions. It reflects the prophetic nature of Moses' leadership, as he serves as the mouthpiece of God to the people. This divine speech acts as a foundation for the laws and guidelines that are to be implemented among the Israelites.

to Moses
Moses is the central human figure in this narrative, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness. His role as a mediator between God and the people is critical. Historically, Moses is revered as a prophet, lawgiver, and leader. The mention of Moses here highlights his unique position and responsibility in receiving and transmitting God's commands. It also reflects the trust and intimacy of his relationship with God, as he is consistently chosen to receive divine revelations.THE UNCLEAN TO BE REMOVED (verses 1-4).
