“And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done.”
Moses said to the congregation, this is what the Lord has commanded to be done. The explanation of purpose before the ceremony begins: Moses announces that what follows is what the Lord commanded. The congregation is not watching an improvised ritual but a divinely prescribed ceremony. The announcement establishes the authority of the ordination: the priesthood installed in what follows is the priesthood God commanded, with the authority God granted. Acts 2:14 records Peter explaining to the crowd what they are witnessing at Pentecost — the same pattern of announcement before the community of what God is doing.
