Torah

Teaching of Yehovah often demonstrated in types. This is mistranslated as ‘Law’, having little to do with jurisprudence (though it contains some), but everything to do with Yehovah’s plans for the future and a proper description of Messiah and of Saints.

Statute

Rule, as engraved in stone: what is or is not to be done in a particular circumstance

Commandment

An 'order' as by a commanding officer telling individuals or groups what to do or not to do. This may include individual 'orders' or orders for the entire group. (A statute is a commandment; a commandment is not necessarily a statute.)

Precept

A visitation (of Yehovah) for or against those being visited. This especially has to do with His personally coming to or among the Israelis to take action for them or against them.

Judgment

A ruling, a decision based on all the facts. This is the same as justice.

Ordinance

This can be the same word as statute, guarding, hand or justice. (One must look it up in each case.)

Testimony

A statement that a witness affirms (almost vows) he has seen, heard, tasted, etc. In Yehovah's case, He sees the future, and can witness every detail of it in His testimony.
