This word occurs 55 times in The Bible, in relation to laws and important pronouncements that Kings and God and the church have made.
Additional Answer:
Decree is used in the Old Testament many times and once in the New Testament. Mostly it is used to mean an ordinance or a law put out by a king or ruler.
In the New Testament, Luke 2:1-3, Caesar Augustus put out a decree (order) that all the world should be registered. In the United States, after congress has agreed and passed a bill into law, the government puts out the word that starting on such and such a date a new tax will take affect, and all citizens of the United States will obey that law. Different translation of the Bible may used a different word in place of "Decree".

What does execution means in the bible?
It can mean to carry something out (Esther 9:1 - "and his decree drew near to be put in execution", that is, the decree was to be carried out). It can also mean that the death penalty is applied to a convicted criminal. Mark 6:27 mentions an "executioner", the person in charge of killing the prisoner, but it doesn't mention the word "execution" directly. Similarly with the variation "execute"; the Bible verses which I found for this word seem to use the word in the sense of "carrying out" or "doing" something.
