Exodus 40:16, word by word
- And Mosesמֹשֶׁהmoshe
Moses
Moses, the man God called to bring Israel out of Egypt and through whom he gave the Law. His name sounds like "draw out" (Exodus 2:10).
Where else “moshe” appears- didיַּעַשׂyaas
carry out
To do what is commanded.
Where else “yaas” appears- YHWHיְהוָהyehva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
Where else “yehva” appears- had commandedצִוָּהtsiva
command
To give an order: "as YHWH had commanded".
Where else “tsiva” appears
The context
15And you shall anoint them as you anointed their father, so that they may serve as priests to me; and their anointing shall be for them for an eternal priesthood throughout their generations.”
