Suppose a teacher says, “Write this passage.” The imperative requests the act, but its bare form does not by itself specify daily indefinite repetition. If the instruction is renewed each day, the renewed directive supplies a new occasion.
Similarly, in worship, the obligating force of a command must be distinguished from the cause of repeated obligations. The daily prayers recur with their appointed times, not simply because the imperative form inherently means endless repetition.
Application: Completing an obligation, its designated performance period, and the arrival of a new obligation at a new time are three separate questions.
