If the people were not meant to hear VAYIKRA

God’s voice, why was it necessary for Him to speak so loudly? The Artscroll p. 544 Sages wish to teach us that even though we know the commandments Hertz p. 410 only from Moses, we should bear in mind that God’s voice was loud enough for everyone to hear; it was the people who were not worthy of Shvii: Numbers hearing it. Accordingly, we should consider ourselves as if each Jew (28:9-15) personally had been commanded by God.
