Parshas Shemini — Vayikra 10:13

וַֽאֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם אֹתָהּ֙ בְּמָק֣וֹם קָד֔וֹשׁ כִּ֣י חָקְךָ֤ וְחָק־בָּנֶ֨יךָ֙ הִ֔וא מֵֽאִשֵּׁ֖י יְהֹוָ֑ה כִּי־כֵ֖ן צֻוֵּֽיתִי:

English: “For thus I was commanded”: the phrase teaches that the command was to eat the offering in the state of mourning, as Moshe had instructed; Moshe was transmitting the divine command rather than speaking on his own authority.
