biblical commandment
Thou shalt not
A biblical commandment is a divine instruction or law found in the Bible, particularly the Ten Commandments given to Moses in the Old Testament.
These directives govern moral conduct, worship, and social behavior: Thou shalt not kill is a biblical commandment.
The term extends to any scriptural mandate believers are expected to follow: Jesus said the greatest biblical commandment is to love God with all your heart.
