# command, commandment
|
||
|
||
## Definition:
|
||
|
||
The term “command” means to order someone to do something. The term “commandment” refers to the thing that a person is commanded to do.
|
||
|
||
* The term “commandment” sometimes refers to certain commands of God which are more formal and permanent, such as the “Ten Commandments.”
|
||
* A command can be positive (“Honor your parents”) or negative (“Do not steal”).
|
||
* To “take command” means to “take control” or “take charge” of something or someone.
|
||
|
||
## Translation Suggestions
|
||
|
||
* It is best to translate this term differently from the term, “law.” Also compare with the definitions of “decree” and “statute.”
|
||
* Some translators may prefer to translate “command” and “commandment” with the same word in their language.
|
||
* Others may prefer to use a special word for commandment that refers to lasting, formal commands that God has made.
