Berean Strong's Lexicon deó: To bind, tie, fasten Original Word: δέω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 631 (אָסַר, 'asar): To bind, imprison, tie up - Strong's Hebrew 7194 (קָשַׁר, qashar): To bind, tie, conspire Usage: The Greek verb "δέω" primarily means to bind or tie something physically, such as binding a person or object with cords or chains. It can also be used metaphorically to describe binding in a legal or moral sense, such as obligations or restrictions. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of spiritual or moral binding, as well as the authority to bind or loose in a spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, binding was a common practice in various contexts, from securing prisoners to binding agreements or covenants. In Jewish tradition, the concept of binding and loosing was significant in rabbinic authority, where rabbis had the power to interpret the law and make binding decisions. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament, where Jesus grants similar authority to His disciples.
