Exegesis
The aorist middle verb eneteilato {ἐνετείλατο | eneteílato} highlights Moyses {Μωϋσῆς | Mōysēs} as the subject who issued authoritative instructions, with the middle voice reflecting his role as the authoritative mediator of the command. The syntax thus places emphasis on the content and target of the Mosaic command, directing the hearers back to the written law as the standard to be examined.
Root and etymology
