Exegesis
The infinitive lesharet {לְשָׁרֵת | lə-šā-rêt} ‘for serving’ marks purpose, while the formula ka-asher tsivah YHWH et-mosheh {כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה | ka-ʾă-šer ṣî-wā Yə-hō-wāh ʾet-mō-šé} ‘as the LORD commanded Moses’ links the instruction to divine authority. Hebrew parallelism and precise ritual detail are rendered into English through terms that preserve the original’s formal patterning.
