Commentary
5 notes on this verseThese are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses,.... Meaning either what are contained in this chapter, or rather in the whole book, which he delivered to Moses: for the children of Israel; to be observed by them, priests and people: and these were given to him in Mount Sinai; either when upon it, or rather when near it, in the wilderness of it, after the tabernacle was set up, and the Lord spake to him out of that; see Lev 1:1.
This site's exposition
which the LORD commanded Moses
One sentence signs off the whole book, and it names Sinai as the place the commandments were given. Leviticus opened with the LORD calling to Moses out of the tent at 1:1, and it ends by putting every word of it back on the mountain. A book about how a man comes near to God closes on a table of what a promise costs, and the last thing it prices is the offering a man brings of his own will.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Upon the whole, we have cause to bless God, that we are not come to Mount Sinai, that we are not under the dark shadows of the law, but enjoy the clear light of the gospel. The doctrine of our reconciliation to God by a Mediator, is not clouded with the smoke of burning sacrifices, but cleared by the knowledge of Christ, and him crucified.
The Nineteenth Century2 voices
These are the commandments - This conclusion is very similar to that at the end of the preceding chapter. I have already supposed that this chapter should have followed the 25th, and that the 26th originally terminated the book.

These are the commandments, &c.--The laws contained in this book, for the most part ceremonial, had an important spiritual bearing, the study of which is highly instructive (Ro 10:4; They imposed a burdensome yoke (Ac 15:10), but yet in the infantine age of the Church formed the necessary discipline of "a schoolmaster to Christ" [Ga 3:24].
