Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 2171 (εὐχή, euché): A prayer or vow.
Strong's Greek Number 1869 (ἐπαγγελία, epangelia): A promise or announcement, often used in the context of divine promises.

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of commitment and promise, emphasizing the continuity of the concept of vows and obligations across the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.

Usage: The term אֱסָר is used in the context of making vows or pledges, particularly those that are solemn and binding. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of making a vow or the vow itself.

Context: The Hebrew term אֱסָר (esár) is primarily associated with the concept of vows or obligations that are binding in nature. In the ancient Israelite context, making a vow was a serious act that involved a commitment to fulfill a promise, often made to God. The term is used in the context of religious and personal commitments, highlighting the importance of integrity and faithfulness in one's words and promises.

In the Berean Standard Bible, אֱסָר is referenced in passages that discuss the making and fulfillment of vows. For example, in Numbers 30:2 (BSB), it is written: "When a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised." This underscores the gravity and sanctity of vows in the biblical tradition.

The concept of אֱסָר is closely tied to the idea of being bound by one's word, reflecting a deep sense of responsibility and accountability. In the biblical narrative, failing to fulfill a vow was considered a serious offense, as it not only broke a personal commitment but also dishonored God, to whom the vow was often made.
