The Lord said to Moses. A new divine speech opens the second major section of the offering regulations: where Leviticus 1–5 addressed the offerings from the perspective of the offerer (what to bring and why), Leviticus 6–7 addresses the offerings from the perspective of the priests (how to handle what is brought). The shift from the congregation's obligations to the priesthood's obligations communicates the two-sided nature of the covenant's worship system: the people must bring correctly; the priests must handle correctly. Both obligations are equally divine commands, equally essential to the integrity of the covenant worship.
