Study note
Setting — The LORD addresses the Israelites through Moses at the conclusion of the covenant instructions on Mount Sinai. This statement functions as a formal boundary marker for the legal material just delivered.
The words — The Hebrew אֵ֠לֶּה ('E.leh) means "these," directly pointing to the statutes, ordinances, and laws previously listed. The verb נָתַ֣ן (na.Tan) translates literally as "he gave," establishing the divine source of the instructions.
The thread — This structural formula appears in Leviticus 27:34 and Deuteronomy 6:1 and 12:1 to close or introduce Mosaic legislation. Each reference ties the commandments back to the same Sinai revelation.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge that the laws originate from Yahweh’s direct authority rather than human tradition. Acceptance of these statutes as binding divine instructions is the explicit demand.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
