'Command' in the Bible

So, now issue a decree to make these men stop [work], so that this city is not rebuilt until a [new] command is issued by me.

Therefore let us now make a covenant with our God to send away all the [foreign] wives and their children, in accordance with the advice of my lord and of those who tremble [in reverent obedience] at the commandment of our God; and let it be done in accordance with the Law.
