DefinitionShort: to demand that a person take an oath as to the truth of what is said or as to the certainty that one will carry out the request or command{N:001}
Glosses: ['to put under oath', 'to insist that one take an oath', 'to require that one swear']
Comments: It is extremely difficult to translate ὁρκίζω, ἐνορκίζω, and ἐξορκίζω in a literal manner, though in some contexts one can say ‘I put you under oath,’ but in a number of passages the person speaking is imploring and not necessarily in a position to command or insist. Therefore, in a passage such as {S:04100500700032}, one may render the meaning idiomatically as ‘for God’s sake, I ask you, do not punish me.’ In {S:05200502700002} one may translate ‘in the name of the Lord, I ask you to read this letter to all the Christian brothers,’ and in {S:04002606300020} one may translate ‘in the name of the living God, I charge you, Tell us who you are.’|In most languages one may translate ὁρκίζω, ἐνορκίζω, and ἐξορκίζω by simply adding a causative component to terms meaning ‘to swear’ or ‘to take an oath.’ In other words, ὁρκίζω, ἐνορκίζω, and ἐξορκίζω may be rendered as ‘to cause a person to say under oath.’
