Exegesis
The verb tzivah {צִוָּה | tsîv-vāh} “commanded” takes the accusative marker et-Mosheh {אֶת־מֹשֶׁה | ʾet mō-šêh}, highlighting Moses’s role in executing divine directives.
In context — Joshua 17:4
And they came before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the leaders, saying, “The LORD commanded Moses to allot us an inheritance among our brothers.” So he gave them an inheritance according to the mouth of the LORD, among the brothers of their father.
