Easton's Bible Dictionary
To promise "by one's truth." Men and women were betrothed when they were engaged to be married. This usually took place a year or more before marriage. From the time of betrothal the woman was regarded as the lawful wife of the man to whom she was betrothed (
Deuteronomy 28:30;
Judges 14:2, 8;
Matthew 1:18-21). The term is figuratively employed of the spiritual connection between God and his people (
Hosea 2:19, 20).
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (
v. t.) To engage or promise in marriage; to affiance; -- used esp. of a woman.
2. (v. t.) To promise to take (as a future spouse); to plight one's troth to.
3. (v. t.) To nominate to a bishopric, in order to consecration.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
BETROTHbe-troth', be-troth' ('dras): On betrothal as a social custom see MARRIAGE. Hosea, in his great parable of the prodigal wife, surpassed only by a greater Teacher's parable of the Prodigal Son, uses betrothal as the symbol of Yahweh's pledge of His love and favor to penitent Israel (Hosea 2:19, 20). In Exodus 21:8, 9 the Revised Version (British and American) renders "espouse" for the "betroth" of the King James Version, the context implying the actual marriage relation.
