Commentary
5 notes on this verseIn the wilderness of Sinai - These laws were probably given to Moses while he was on the mount with God; the time was quite sufficient, as he was there with God not less than fourscore days in all; forty days at the giving, and forty days at the renewing of the law.
This site's exposition
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron
on Leviticus 7:35-38
Verse 37 names all five offerings in one line and adds the consecrations, closing the run that began at chapter 1. The order ends on the peace offerings, where the worshipper's list in chapters 1 to 5 put them third and ended on the trespass offering. Verse 38 places the giving of these laws in mount Sinai and in the wilderness of Sinai, while Leviticus 1:1 has the LORD calling to Moses out of the tabernacle of the congregation. Commentators account for the two settings in different ways and the text itself settles nothing.

Which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai,....
Note, The solemn acts religious worship are commanded. They are not things that we are left to our liberty in, and which we may do or not do at our pleasure; but we are under indispensable obligations to perform them in their season, and it is at our peril if we omit them.
