Once Moshe had identified why they were singled out, he spoke to THEM, to the individuals who had to understand that their greatness was not merely external, by being born into the family of Kohanim, but was internal, due to their own personal actions and the love Hashem had for each of them. The posuk says, “Vayomer HaShem” (that’s one) el Moshe, ‘Emor el haKohanim B’nai Aharon’ (that’s two) ‘v’amarta lahem,’ (that’s three.) Regarding the double language (mentions 2 and 3,) our Sages say it is instructing the elders to teach the younger generation. “Say to the Kohanim, sons of Aharon, and you shall say to them, none shall defile himself to the dead of his nation.” (Leviticus 21:1) The Kohanim, who serve Hashem and perform the work in the Mishkan or Bais HaMikdash, are prohibited from becoming contaminated by the impurity of a corpse unless it is one of seven relatives or a ‘mes mitzvah,’ a corpse which has no one else to attend to it.

(Vayikra 23:40) Symbolism of the Four Species The Commandment is to take these four species together as a unit, and to shake them together in all directions, at various times on Sukkot.
