(אֵָסר, esar', or אַסָּר, issar', a moral obligation; δεσμός, a physical means of restraint) is used for an obligation of any kind in Numbers 30:2; Numbers 30:4; Numbers 30:12, (See VOW); metaphorically, the word signifies oppression, captivity, affliction (Psalms 116:16; Philippians 1:7). (See CAPTIVITY). The influences of the Holy Spirit are called the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3). Charity or Christian love is called the bond of perfectness, because it completes the Christian character (Colossians 3:14). Bonds are also bands or chains worn by prisoners (Acts 20:23; Acts 25:14) bound or subjected to slavery (1 Corinthians 12:13; Revelation 6:15). (See PRISON).
