Appendix L

Explicit Mitzvot of the New Covenant Shlichim

Whereas New Covenant Scriptures are liberally cited in support of Mitzvot elsewhere in this book, this Appendix lists those words of the Shlichim that were spoken in the imperative and can therefore be considered commandments in their own right.¹ Some of these are unique, and some repeats of mitzvot given earlier through Moses or spoken by Yeshua.

1. The mitzvot in this list are those that are explicitly expressed in the imperative case. That notwithstanding, many other mitzvot can be implied from the Shlichim's teachings that are not stated in the imperative.
