What does 指命 mean?


> 院長の指示通り動くのが我々の **指命** だ

They are two doctors talking together.

指命 is on Weblio, but not on Jisho. It seems like 指令, what's the difference
between them though?




I see a note from "naruto" that says, "It's a typo for 使命" ("mission").

Based on that, the sentence should translate into "Our mission is to act
according to the director's instructions."

(I'm sorry if reiterating this isn't what should be done, as I am new and this
is my second time answering a question here, and even this is based on a note
from "naruto" and is not my original idea. I just thought that it would be
good to have this show up in the regular area for answers.)
