SIBI-P1 H4687-22

command-of

Rootצוה (ṣ-w-h)
Core Meaningsto command, to charge, to commission, to appoint
Semantic Rangecommand, charge, directive, ordinance, precept, authoritative instruction (human or divine)
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Scriptures, a מִצְוָה embodies an authoritative charge issued by a superior—often יהוה—binding the covenant community to obedient response. It expresses not merely legal obligation but relational accountability within the covenant framework.
Morphological NotesNoun, common, feminine, singular, construct (HNcfsc); construct form of מִצְוָה (mitsvâh).
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִצְוַת is feminine singular in the construct state (HNcfsc), meaning "command of…" and linking it to a following noun. Rendering it as "command-of" preserves the singular form and signals the construct relationship, while reflecting its derivation from the root צוה, "to command" or "to charge."
