1. Old Testament Use:
This word generally represents חקּה, ḥuḳḳāh, 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, חק, ḥōḳ. the Revised Version (British and American) generally retains ?ordinance,? but sometimes substitutes ?statute? (e.g. Exo_18:20; Psa_99:7). In one instance the Revised Version (British and American) renders ?set portion? (Eze_45:14). The word generally has a religious or ceremonial significance. It is used for instance in connection with the Passover (Exo_12:43; Num_9:14). According to Exo_12:14, 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 (Deu_6:1, Deu_6:2; Lev_18:4).
In 11 passages (Exo_15:25; Jos_24:25; 1Sa_30:25; 2Ki_17:34, 2Ki_17:37; 2Ch_33:8; 2Ch_35:13; Psa_119:91; Isa_58:2 twice; Eze_11:20) ?ordinance? is the rendering of משׁפּט, mishpāṭ, judgment, decision or sentence by a judge or ruler. In the Book of the Covenant (Ex 20:22 through 23:33) the term ?judgments? denotes civil, as contrasted with ritual, enactments. In 2Ki_17:34 the King James Version employs ?manners? and ?ordinances? as renderings of this word. In 3 passages (Lev_18:30; Lev_22:9; Mal_3:14) ?ordinance? is the translation of משׁמרת, mishmereth, ?charge,? which the Revised Version (British and American) restores. In one instance (Neh_10:32) ordinance renders מצוה, micwāh, ?commandment,? while in Ezr_3:10 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.
2. New Testament Use:
In the New Testament, ?ordinance? renders different Greek words, namely, (1) δικαίωμα, dikaı́ōma, in Luk_1:6 and Heb_9:1, Heb_9:10. The word means literally, ?anything declared right?; but in these passages ceremonial and religious regulation; (2) δόγμα, dógma, in Eph_2:15; Col_2:14. In the New Testament this word always means a decree or edict (Act_17:7); (3) παράδοσις, parádosis, in 1Co_11:2 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes ?traditions?; (4) κτίσις, ktı́sis, ?setting up,? ?institution? in 1Pe_2:13. 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 Rom_13:1.

Ordinance
an institution established by lawful authority. Religious ordinances must be instituted by the great institutor of religion, or they are not binding: minor regulations are not properly ordinances. Ordinances once established are not to be varied by human caprice or mutability.
Human ordinances, established by national laws, may be varied by other laws, because the inconveniences arising from them can only be determined by experience. Yet Christians are bound to submit to these institutions, when they do not infringe on those established by divine authority; not only from the consideration that if every individual were to oppose national institutions no society could subsist, but by the tenor of Scripture itself. Nevertheless, Christianity does not interfere with political rights, but leaves individuals, as well as nations, in full enjoyment of whatever advantages the constitution of a country secures to its subjects.
The course of nature is the ordinance of God; its laws are but the ordinances of heaven; and every planet obeys that impulse which the divine Governor has impressed on it. (Jer_31:36).
