This imagery would have been familiar to early Christians, who lived under Roman rule where imprisonment and physical binding were prevalent. The concept of binding also had spiritual connotations, as seen in Jewish traditions where binding and loosing were terms used in rabbinic authority to permit or prohibit actions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1199.htm">desmos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bind together, to fetter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>binding (1), bound (1), tie (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1195: δεσμεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δεσμεύω</span></span>; (imperfect passive 3 person singular <span class="greek2">ἐδεσμεύετο</span> (<a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>)); (<span class="greek2">δεσμός</span>); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to put in chains</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-4.htm">Acts 22:4</a>; (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/judges/16-11.htm">Judges 16:11</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Bacch. 616; <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, Hier. 6, 14; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 7, p. 808 d.). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to bind up, bind together</span>: <span class="greek2">φορτία</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-4.htm">Matthew 23:4</a>; (<span class="greek2">δράγματα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/37-7.htm">Genesis 37:7</a>; Judith 8:3.
