what does the word commandment mean in hebrew
Mitzvah In its primary meaning, the Hebrew word mitzvah (/ˈmɪtsvə/;[1] meaning "commandment", מִצְוָה‬, [mit͡sˈva], Biblical: miṣwah; plural מִצְווֹת‬ mitzvot [mit͡sˈvot], Biblical: miṣwoth; from צִוָּה‬ ṣiwwah "command") refers to precepts and commandments commanded by God.
Shekhinah This term does not occur in the Bible, and is from rabbinic literature.[2]:148[3][4]
Ten Commandments Different religious traditions divide the seventeen verses of Exodus 20:1–17 and their parallels at Deuteronomy 5:4–21 into ten "commandments" or "sayings" in different ways, shown in the table below. Some suggest that the number ten is a choice to aid memorization rather than a matter of theology.[8][9]
Ab (Semitic) Ab or Av (ʾĀḇ; related to Akkadian abu[1]), sometimes Aba or Abba, means "father" in most Semitic languages.
