This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Acts 16:26, where Paul and Silas are freed from their bonds.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "esur" refers to the state of being bound or imprisoned. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical imprisonment or metaphorical binding, such as being bound by vows or obligations. The concept often conveys a sense of restriction or limitation, whether literal or figurative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, imprisonment was not as common as other forms of punishment like fines, corporal punishment, or exile. However, when imprisonment did occur, it was a significant form of restraint, often used for political prisoners or those awaiting trial. The idea of being bound also extended to vows and covenants, which were taken very seriously in the cultural and religious context of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/612.htm">esur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a band, bond<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>band (2), imprisonment (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֱסוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>band, bond</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">אֲסוּר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אֵיסוּר</font>, Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108202.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108203.gif">);
