SIBI-P1 H4687-21

a commanded charge

Rootצוה (ṣ-w-h)
Core Meaningsto command, charge, appoint, give orders
Semantic Rangecommand, commandment, directive, ordinance, precept, authoritative instruction (human or divine), collectively the Law.
Conceptual Significanceמִצְוָה represents an authoritative instruction, especially from יהוה, forming the foundation of covenantal obedience in Israel. It signifies not merely advice but binding direction that shapes communal and personal faithfulness.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular absolute; derived from the verbal root צוה in a nominal pattern indicating the result or content of commanding.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִצְוָה derives from the root צוה, "to command" or "to charge." Rendering it as "a commanded charge" preserves the sense of an authoritative directive that has been issued. The form is feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa), which is reflected by the singular English construction without possessive or plural elements.
