piqqûwd
Your precepts
A directive, instruction, or charge that is given with authority; in biblical texts, primarily denoting mandates or requirements issued by a sovereign, particularly by God. While most common as a collective plural referring to divine commandments, the term can also refer to obligations or official decrees more generally, including those issued by human authorities. The nuance of the term emphasizes something entrusted or assigned—a duty, order, or formal instruction—rather than only a legal regulation.
