Strong's Lexicon piqqud: Precept, Statute, Commandment Original Word: פִקּוּד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַד (paqad), which means to attend to, visit, muster, appoint, or oversee. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for "piqqud" is ἐντολή (entolē), which also means commandment or precept. This term is used in the New Testament to refer to the commandments of God, as seen in passages like John 14:15, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." Usage: The term "piqqud" refers to a commandment or precept, often used in the context of divine instructions or decrees given by God. It emphasizes the authoritative and binding nature of God's laws, which are meant to guide the moral and spiritual conduct of His people. In the Hebrew Bible, "piqqud" is frequently associated with the Torah and the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of divine commandments was central to the community's identity and religious practice. The Israelites believed that adherence to God's precepts was essential for maintaining a right relationship with Him and for ensuring the well-being of the nation. The precepts were seen as expressions of God's will and character, providing a framework for ethical living and communal harmony. The emphasis on obedience to these precepts reflects the covenantal theology that underpins much of the Hebrew Bible.
