'Rules' in the Bible

Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.

And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.

And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.

(But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.

And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.

And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.
