So Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites. The compliance formula for the physical disqualification regulations closes the chapter with the same pattern as every major legal section: Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites. The transmission of the priestly regulations to Aaron and his sons (who must follow them) and to all the Israelites (who must recognize them) communicates the community-wide dimension of the priestly holiness standards. The community that knows the standards can honor them; the community that is ignorant of the standards cannot protect what they preserve.
