instruction-of
Instruction, teaching, or direction; in most biblical contexts, refers to guidance or instructions—often of a legal, ethical, or ritual nature—provided by a person of authority (especially the God of Israel to the Israelite people). The word can denote a specific instruction, an authoritative body of teaching, or, in later and post-exilic usage, a codified set of written laws (e.g., the Pentateuch). While frequently rendered as 'law' in English, its range is broader, including general instruction or guidance.

SIBI-P1 Translation H8452-01
instruction of
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun in construct state (תּוֹרַת), from תּוֹרָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹרָה derives from ירה in its causative sense, meaning that which is taught or directed. The construct feminine singular form תּוֹרַת requires the relational rendering "instruction of," preserving both root meaning and construct state. |
