Again
The use of the word "again" signifies continuity and repetition in God's communication with Moses. It underscores the ongoing relationship and dialogue between God and His chosen leader. This word reminds us of the faithfulness of God in consistently guiding His people. In the Hebrew text, the word used here is "וַיְדַבֵּר" (vayedaber), which is often translated as "and spoke." This indicates a continuation of divine instruction, emphasizing that God's guidance is not a one-time event but a continual process.

the LORD
The term "LORD" is a translation of the Hebrew name "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This is the covenant name of God, revealing His eternal, self-existent nature. It is a reminder of God's unchanging character and His faithfulness to His promises. The use of this name in the context of the Nazirite vow, which follows in the chapter, highlights the holiness and separateness of God, which the Nazirite vow seeks to emulate.

said
The word "said" in Hebrew is "אָמַר" (amar), which conveys not just speaking but also commanding or declaring. This indicates that what follows is not merely a suggestion but a divine directive. It reflects the authority of God's word and the expectation of obedience from His people. In the context of Numbers, God's words are foundational for the community's life and worship.

to Moses
Moses is the central human figure in the Pentateuch, serving as the mediator between God and the Israelites. His role as a prophet and leader is crucial, as he conveys God's laws and instructions to the people. The mention of Moses here reinforces his unique position and the trust God places in him to communicate His will. Historically, Moses is seen as a type of Christ, foreshadowing the ultimate mediator between God and humanity. Moses' leadership and faithfulness are exemplary, reminding believers of the importance of obedience and dedication to God's calling.

verses 1-21 - Note. - The Hebrew Nazir has been written Nazarite in English under the mistaken impression that there is some connection between Nazir and Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). A very little reflection will show that "the Nazarene" not only was no Nazir, but that he even took pains to let it be seen that he was not. John the Baptist was the Nazir of the New Testament, and in all outward things the contrast was strongly marked between them (Luke 7:14, 33, 34; John 2:2).
