These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses. The comprehensive closing formula of Leviticus 26 and the Holiness Code: these are the decrees, laws, and regulations established at Mount Sinai between God and Israel through Moses. The three terms — decrees, laws, regulations — are the three categories of the covenant's legal material. The establishment at Sinai communicates the foundational authority of the entire Levitical system. The between himself and the Israelites through Moses communicates the tripartite covenant structure: God, the mediator (Moses), and the covenant people. Hebrews 9:15 says Christ is the mediator of a new covenant — Moses the mediator of Sinai is the type of the eternal mediator.
