טַעַם ṭaʻam · H2940 · taste, good sense, discernment: טַעַם (ṭaʻam, H2940) is a broad polysemous term with senses spanning taste, judgment, discretion and decree, while אֱסָר (ʼĕçâr, H633) is a narrow, specialized term meaning only "decree" (an Aramaic loanword). The two overlap only in the single sense "decree" of טַעַם (ṭaʻam, H2940), in which both can denote a legal decree.
פִּקּוּד piqqûwd · H6490 · commandments, precepts: Both lexemes denote authoritative directives or legal pronouncements; they are genuine same-language near-synonyms that could substitute in sense (a decree vs. a commandment/precept).
מִצְוָה mitsvâh · H4687 · command: Both words denote authoritative commands or legal directives and overlap in sense, both being types of authoritative pronouncement.
דָּת dâth · H1881 · law: Both words denote legal or authoritative decrees or laws. דָּת (dâth, H1881) is broader (commandment, commission, decree, law, manner), while אֱסָר (ʼĕçâr, H633) is narrower, meaning decree only; the two distinct Hebrew words overlap in the sense of decree.
צַו tsav · H6673 · command, precept, tsade tsade qoph qoph: Both lexemes are genuine legal-order terms (decree vs. commandment/precept) that could plausibly substitute in sense as near-synonyms for authoritative commands.
