Is there a bash script command (a function ?) which I can use in a bash
script to wait a number of seconds, before the next command executes?

Something like: wait(5) so that the program waits 5 seconds. ?

You want sleep. To use your example:

sleep 5

there's no bash command/function for that, but you can just use sleep.
