my commands
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct form with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from צוה, denoting that which is commanded or authoritatively instructed. The feminine plural form with a first-person singular suffix is preserved by rendering it as "my" plus the plural "commands." |
