'divine command' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'european with present trouble grasping english' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'lett' (old-fashioned term for someone from Latvia) and 'lett' is found within the answer.
'present' could be 'here' (both can mean in attendance) and 'here' is found in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'blight' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
