Strong's Lexicon esar: Oath, Vow, Pledge Original Word: אֱסָר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַר (asar), meaning "to bind" or "to tie." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1861 ἐπαγγέλλομαι (epangellomai) - to promise - G2171 εὐχή (euche) - vow, prayer Usage: The term "esar" refers to a binding promise or vow made before God. In the Hebrew context, it signifies a solemn commitment that is not to be taken lightly. The concept of making vows was integral to the religious and social life of ancient Israel, reflecting a deep sense of accountability and devotion to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, vows and oaths were serious commitments that often involved a promise to perform a specific act or to abstain from certain behaviors. These vows were made voluntarily and were considered binding before God. The cultural context emphasized the importance of keeping one's word, as breaking a vow was seen as a serious offense against both God and the community. The practice of making vows is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where faithfulness and integrity were paramount.
