The concept of ordinances is deeply rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, serving as a means by which God communicates His will and establishes a covenant relationship with His followers.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, ordinances are frequently associated with the laws given by God to the Israelites through Moses. These include moral, ceremonial, and civil laws that were intended to set Israel apart as a holy nation. The ordinances were detailed in the Torah, particularly in books such as Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. For example, <a href="/exodus/12-14.htm">Exodus 12:14-17</a> describes the ordinance of the Passover: "This day is to be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD. You are to celebrate it as a perpetual statute for the generations to come."<br><br>The ordinances encompassed various aspects of daily life, including dietary restrictions, sacrificial systems, and festivals. They were designed to maintain the purity and holiness of the community, ensuring that the Israelites lived in accordance with God's standards.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of ordinances evolves with the advent of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the New Covenant. While the moral principles of the Old Testament ordinances remain relevant, the ceremonial and civil laws are fulfilled in Christ. The Apostle Paul addresses this in <a href="/colossians/2-14.htm">Colossians 2:14</a>, stating that Christ "canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. He set it aside, nailing it to the cross."<br><br>The New Testament introduces ordinances that are central to Christian worship and practice, such as baptism and the Lord's Supper. These ordinances are seen as outward expressions of inward faith and obedience to Christ. Baptism is commanded by Jesus in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The Lord's Supper, instituted by Jesus during the Last Supper, is described in <a href="/1_corinthians/11-24.htm">1 Corinthians 11:24-25</a>: "And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'"<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Ordinances serve as tangible expressions of faith and obedience, reinforcing the believer's relationship with God. They are not merely ritualistic practices but are imbued with spiritual significance, symbolizing deeper truths about redemption, community, and the believer's identity in Christ. Through ordinances, believers are reminded of God's covenant promises and their responsibilities as members of His kingdom.<br><br>In summary, ordinances in the Bible are divine commands that guide the worship and conduct of God's people. They reflect the continuity of God's covenantal relationship with humanity, from the laws given to Israel to the practices instituted by Christ for His church.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Old Testament Use:<br><br>This word generally represents chuqqah, something prescribed, enactment, usually with reference to matters of ritual. In the King James Version the same word is frequently translated by "statute" or "statutes," which is also the rendering of a similar Hebrew word, namely, choq. the Revised Version (British and American) generally retains "ordinance," but sometimes substitutes "statute" (e.g. <a href="/exodus/18-20.htm">Exodus 18:20</a> <a href="/psalms/99-7.htm">Psalm 99:7</a>). In one instance the Revised Version (British and American) renders "set portion" (<a href="/ezekiel/45-14.htm">Ezekiel 45:14</a>). The word generally has a religious or ceremonial significance. It is used for instance in connection with the Passover (<a href="/exodus/12-43.htm">Exodus 12:43</a> <a href="/numbers/9-14.htm">Numbers 9:14</a>). According to <a href="/exodus/12-14.htm">Exodus 12:14</a>, the Passover was "an ordinance for ever," i.e. a permanent institution. In the plural the word is often employed, along with such terms as commandments, laws, etc., with reference to the different prescriptions of the Deuteronomic and Priestly codes (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-1.htm">Deuteronomy 6:1, 2</a> <a href="/leviticus/18-4.htm">Leviticus 18:4</a>).<br><br>In 11 passages (<a href="/exodus/15-25.htm">Exodus 15:25</a> <a href="/joshua/24-25.htm">Joshua 24:25</a> <a href="/1_samuel/30-25.htm">1 Samuel 30:25</a> <a href="/2_kings/17-34.htm">2 Kings 17:34, 37</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/33-8.htm">2 Chronicles 33:8</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/35-13.htm">2 Chronicles 35:13</a> <a href="/psalms/119-91.htm">Psalm 119:91</a> <a href="/isaiah/58-2.htm">Isaiah 58:2</a> twice; <a href="/ezekiel/11-20.htm">Ezekiel 11:20</a>) "ordinance" is the rendering of mishpaT, judgment, decision or sentence by a judge or ruler. In the Book of the Covenant (<a href="/exodus/20-22.htm">Exodus 20:22-23:33</a>) the term "judgments" denotes civil, as contrasted with ritual, enactments. In <a href="/2_kings/17-34.htm">2 Kings 17:34</a> the King James Version employs "manners" and "ordinances" as renderings of this word. In 3 passages (<a href="/leviticus/18-30.htm">Leviticus 18:30</a>; <a href="/leviticus/22-9.htm">Leviticus 22:9</a> <a href="/malachi/3-14.htm">Malachi 3:14</a>) "ordinance" is the translation of mishmereth, "charge," which the Revised Version (British and American) restores. In one instance (<a href="/nehemiah/10-32.htm">Nehemiah 10:32</a>) ordinance renders mitswah, "commandment," while in <a href="/ezra/3-10.htm">Ezra 3:10</a> the King James Version the phrase "after the ordinance of David" represents a Hebrew phrase which literally means "upon the hands of David," i.e. under the guidance or direction of David.<br><br>2. New Testament Use:<br><br>In the New Testament, "ordinance" renders different Greek words, namely,<br><br>(1) dikaioma, in <a href="/luke/1-6.htm">Luke 1:6</a> and <a href="/hebrews/9-1.htm">Hebrews 9:1, 10</a>. The word means literally, "anything declared right"; but in these passages ceremonial and religious regulation;<br><br>(2) dogma, in <a href="/ephesians/2-15.htm">Ephesians 2:15</a> <a href="/colossians/2-14.htm">Colossians 2:14</a>. In the New Testament this word always means a decree or edict (<a href="/acts/17-7.htm">Acts 17:7</a>);<br><br>(3) paradosis, in <a href="/1_corinthians/11-2.htm">1 Corinthians 11:2</a> the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "traditions";<br><br>(4) ktisis, "setting up," "institution" in <a href="/1_peter/2-13.htm">1 Peter 2:13</a>. The term is used exclusively of the action of God. Peter implies that institutions, apparently human, such as the family and the state, are of divine origin. The same doctrine is found in <a href="/romans/13-1.htm">Romans 13:1</a>.<br><br>T.
