'Rules' in the Bible
You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.
So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.
And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.
So keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your land.
If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,
And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;
These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
