mitsvâh
your commandments
Directive or instruction issued with authority, most frequently referring to a command issued by God to the Israelite people, but also occasionally used of human commands. The term designates specific injunctions, prescriptions, or statutes, often those given as part of a covenantal relationship, especially the authoritative directives found in the Torah. In some contexts, the word can refer more broadly to any command, rule, or regulation.

SIBI-P1 Translation H4687-20
your commanded directives
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural construct + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִצְוָה denotes that which has been commanded; in the feminine plural construct with a 2ms suffix, it specifies multiple directives belonging to or issued by "you" (masculine singular). "Commanded directives" preserves the root sense of authoritative instruction while reflecting the plural and possessive form. |
