|"command ... it be made ..." seems like overkill, or does it have additional meaning? - Indeed, it has: it stresses the power of the Lord's word: He doesn't perform only party tricks, he has the ''command'' over the whole world. The Greek original uses the very basic word λέγω (speak) for this, and it reminds us of John 1:1.: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
