'Statutes' in the Bible
and you are to teach the Israelites all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them through Moses.”
You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, and you shall not do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes (practices, customs).
You are to follow My judgments (precepts, ordinances) and keep My statutes and live by them. I am the Lord your God.
So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which, if a person keeps them, he shall live; I am the Lord.
But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments (precepts) and shall not commit any of these repulsive acts, neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives temporarily among you
‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear clothing of two kinds of material mixed together.
You shall observe and keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them. I am the Lord.’”
You shall keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
‘Therefore keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out [as it did those before you].
‘Therefore you shall carry out My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them, so that you may live securely on the land.
If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and [obediently] do them,
if, instead, you reject My statutes, and if your soul rejects My ordinances, so that you will not [obediently] do all My commandments, and in this way break My covenant,
But the land will be abandoned by them and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment for their wickedness and make amends because they rejected My ordinances and their soul rejected My statutes.
These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses at Mount Sinai.
