The points that have been made are excellent!
Grammatically, the future tense can likewise carry an imperative import, as has been stated. This is true in Greek and Hebrew as well as English.
Likewise, from other portions of Scripture, the 10 Commandments are referred to as Commandments:
Exodus 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Note: I realize that this is an interpretation of the "Debariim" and "logoi" of the Hebrew and LXX.

Whisky may not cure the common cold, but it fails more agreeably than most other things.
