Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the prescriptive Biblical performative verbs zapovedovati (zapovedujem), ukazovati (ukazujem), naročati (naročam) and constructions such as to je moja zapoved, novo zapoved vam dam, izdajam povelje. The verb zapovedovati is never used performatively in the commandments of the Old Testament. The first person singular form only reports a given situation. In their performative use the prescriptive verbs signal a new situation.
