| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS — noun, accusative, feminine, singular; indicates a single feminine noun serving as the direct object or object of certain prepositions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "an enjoined charge" preserves the verbal root connection to ἐντέλλομαι (to command, to charge with authority) while highlighting the sense of something formally laid upon someone. The accusative feminine singular form is reflected as a single, concrete directive functioning as a direct object in its clause. |
