Ordinances

OR'DINANCES. The term, as used by the sacred writers, designates laws and commandments of God, Ex 18:20, or of civil rulers, 1 Pet 2:13, and sometimes religious ceremonies. Heb 9:1, 1 Kgs 16:10. In one passage, 1 Cor 11:2, the word is a translation for the Greek word paradonis, which in twelve other passages of the N.T. is more correctly translated "tradition."
