Almost all versions make this verse a separate paragraph. It is a kind of conclusion for the entire section, from the beginning of chapter 17 to this point. It is even taken as a conclusion to the whole book by those who see chapter 27 as a later addition.

Statutes and ordinances and laws: the use of three separate terms is not essential here. Their importance lies in the intended emphasis on the totality of the various rules which God gave to the people of Israel.

The structure of this verse is awkward in Revised Standard Version and should probably be changed in accordance with Good News Translation, or in some other way that will be more natural in the receptor language. Moses is seen as the agent through whom God gave his laws to the people of Israel. The phrase between him and the people of Israel stresses the fact that the laws given were a matter between God and his people, even though Moses was used as an instrument.
