But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
But you, Moses, stay here with me, and I will tell you all the commandments, laws, and rules that you must teach the people, so they can follow them in the land I'm giving them to live in.
God is telling Moses to stay close so He can give him all the laws and instructions that Moses needs to teach the Israelites for living in the Promised Land.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place at Mount Sinai after God gave the Ten Commandments to all the Israelites, who became afraid of God's powerful presence and asked Moses to be their mediator. God is now calling Moses aside privately to receive the detailed laws that would govern Israel's life in the land of Canaan. This marks the beginning of Moses receiving the extensive legal code that would shape Israelite society.
