👉 In the Old Testament, "prescripts" are commands given by God to his people concerning specific actions or decisions that must be taken. These instructions can range from minor details such as eating a certain amount of meat on Sabbath days to more complex rules governing property rights and political organization. The exact meaning is not clear in the Bible but it's commonly understood as a command or directive given during an assembly (as in Exodus 12:20). The precise details can vary depending on the context, but typically include specifics about dietary laws, inheritance issues, military orders, and more. Prescripts are often seen as part of the Ten Commandments and are integral to understanding Jewish law and practice.
