    canonically speaking they are laws made not by God

    but the passage ends with God signing off on the law

      So next time you’re at the tabernacle or trying to be being a priest you’ll know how to behave, sure.

      God signs of on mortal codes of governance multiple times in the text. Obedience to “Laws of the land” are a thing in other texts. The order seems to be “be orderly and in accordance to whatever the power structure where you are agrees is fair” it is pretty all over the place, Romans, Deuteronomy, Paul, Hebrews Numbers… God wields a pretty big ole rubber stamp.
