3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “law” →
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD , because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
