What Does Leviticus 5:14 Mean?
A new instruction begins. The formula 'And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying' marks a transition to a different class of sin—trespass in the holy things of the LORD. This boundary signals that what follows addresses a more serious violation than the earlier cases.
The introduction maintains the pattern of direct divine communication to Moses, who then transmits the law to the people. The authority of these instructions rests on their divine origin, given through the mediator Moses.
