Or this. . .
"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death." (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Or this, since you say that slavery in the bible is nothing like more recent slavery . . .
"When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property." (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
All of those quotes I listed are clearly written as orders. They are not technically commandments, but the bible is clearly directing its readers on how to behave.
