Strong’s: G1378

Associated OET lemmas: δόγμα

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, n.

Sense 1: law, ordinance, rule

Semantic entry: 33.333

Semantic domains: Communication

Subdomains: Law, Regulation, Ordinance

Notes: The difference between ‘a law’ and ‘a command’ is that a law is enforced by sanctions from a society, while a command carries only the sanctions of the individual who commands. When, however, the people of Israel accepted the commands of God as the rules which they would follow and enforce, these became their laws.
