It is used both literally and metaphorically, often symbolizing authority, obligation, or restriction. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, "bind" frequently appears in the context of physical binding or tying. For example, in <a href="/genesis/22-9.htm">Genesis 22:9</a>, Abraham "bound" Isaac as he prepared to offer him as a sacrifice, demonstrating obedience and submission to God's command. The act of binding here signifies a deep trust in God's provision and promises. Binding is also associated with the law and commandments. In <a href="/deuteronomy/6-8.htm">Deuteronomy 6:8</a>, the Israelites are instructed to "bind" the commandments as a sign on their hands and as frontlets between their eyes. This metaphorical use emphasizes the importance of keeping God's laws ever-present in daily life, symbolizing commitment and constant remembrance. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the concept of binding takes on additional spiritual dimensions. Jesus speaks of binding in the context of spiritual authority and church discipline. In <a href="/matthew/16-19.htm">Matthew 16:19</a>, He tells Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." This passage highlights the authority given to the apostles and, by extension, the church, to make binding decisions in spiritual matters. Similarly, in <a href="/matthew/18-18.htm">Matthew 18:18</a>, Jesus reiterates this authority to the broader group of disciples, emphasizing the communal aspect of church discipline and decision-making. The act of binding and loosing here is understood as the church's authority to declare what is permitted or forbidden, reflecting heaven's will on earth. Spiritual Warfare Binding is also a term used in the context of spiritual warfare. In <a href="/matthew/12-29.htm">Matthew 12:29</a>, Jesus speaks of binding the "strong man" before plundering his house, illustrating the power and authority of Christ over demonic forces. This metaphor underscores the necessity of spiritual authority and the victory of Christ over evil. Symbolic and Prophetic Uses The prophets often used binding as a symbol of judgment or captivity. In <a href="/ezekiel/3-25.htm">Ezekiel 3:25</a>, God tells Ezekiel that he will be bound with ropes, symbolizing the restrictions placed upon him as a prophet. This act serves as a sign to the people of Israel of their impending judgment and captivity due to their disobedience. Binding in Covenants and Oaths Binding is also associated with covenants and oaths, signifying a solemn commitment. In <a href="/numbers/30-2.htm">Numbers 30:2</a>, a man who makes a vow to the Lord is instructed not to break his word but to do everything he has promised, illustrating the binding nature of vows and the importance of faithfulness. Conclusion Throughout the Bible, the concept of binding is rich with meaning, encompassing themes of authority, obedience, spiritual warfare, and covenantal faithfulness. Whether used literally or metaphorically, binding serves as a powerful reminder of the commitments and responsibilities that come with faith in God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It sometimes means "to attach," "to fasten" (<a href="/exodus/28-28.htm">Exodus 28:28</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/14-25.htm">Deuteronomy 14:25</a>). It was used also with reference to an agreement in a judicial sense (<a href="/numbers/30-2.htm">Numbers 30:2, 3</a>), or to make one a prisoner (<a href="/judges/16-10.htm">Judges 16:10</a> <a href="/psalms/149-8.htm">Psalm 149:8</a>). It means also "to control" (<a href="/job/38-31.htm">Job 38:31</a>). Figurative: In a figurative sense, to bind heavy and burdensome (extra) so-called religious duties on men (<a href="/matthew/23-4.htm">Matthew 23:4</a>). This figurative use of the word in <a href="/matthew/16-19.htm">Matthew 16:19</a> and 18:18 has given special interest to it. Necessarily certain powers for administration must be conferred on this company of men to carry out the purpose of Christ. That this power was not conferred on Peter alone is evident from the fact that in <a href="/matthew/18-18.htm">Matthew 18:18</a> it is conferred on all the apostles. The use of the word in the New Testament is to declare a thing to be binding or obligatory (<a href="/john/20-23.htm">John 20:23</a>). In this sense this authority is used by some denominations in the service in preparation for the Lord's Supper, in which after the confession of sin by the people the ministers say, "I declare to you who have sincerely repented of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ the entire forgiveness of your sins." This statement is followed by the further declaration that if any have not so repented God will not forgive them, but will retain them and call them to account. The claim of the church of Rome that these statements of our Lord confer on the priests and bishops, or primarily on the pope, the power to retain or forgive sins, is without historical validity and does violence to the Scriptures.
