tsav denotes a command, whether followed as a directive or repeated in a warning-like sequence.

The attested use denotes a command: in Isaiah it is repeated in a command-upon-command sequence, while Hosea presents it as the directive Ephraim was willing to follow.

1. Command as a repeated pronouncement · dominant

   In Isaiah 28:10 and Isaiah 28:13, the masculine singular absolute noun is repeated in the clause rendered by the APB as "command upon command." Isaiah 28:13 places this repeated wording in the statement that the word of the LORD shall become so to them, followed by stumbling, breaking, snaring, and capture.

   Isaiah 28:10Isaiah 28:13
2. Command followed as a directive · occasional

   In Hosea 5:11, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the reason Ephraim is oppressed and justice is crushed: the APB renders the clause "because he was willing to walk after the command."

   Hosea 5:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "command" in all three verses, rendering a repeated "command upon command" sequence in Isaiah and a command followed by Ephraim in Hosea. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the noun.
