Gen. 26:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Gen. 26:4      Gen. 26:6

Genesis 26:5

because Abraham listened to my voice and kept (observed; watched over; lived by) what was to be guarded (Hebrew mishmar): my commandments (Hebr. mitzvot), my ordinances (Hebr. chuqim; literally 'things engraved') and my teaching (Hebr. Torah)."
[Already here, four different Hebrew expressions are used for God's word, which is not given to the people until Moses writes down the five books of Moses:
• mishmar – general word for something that must be observed and obeyed
• mitzvot – commandments, clear and distinct orders
• chuqim – ordinances, literally "things engraved," indicating permanent, unchangeable laws, often described as commandments that have no rational explanation
• Torah – teaching, guidance, and instructions.
It seems obvious that Abraham, as the first Israelite, already lived according to these provisions and commandments of God.]
