A solemn [[Text:EBD:Appeal (EBD)|appeal]] whereby one person imposes on another the obligation of speaking or acting as if under an [[Text:EBD:Oath (EBD)|oath]] (1 Sam. 14:24; Josh. 6:26; 1 Kings 22:16).
We have in the [[Text:EBD:New Testament (EBD)|New Testament]] a striking example of this (Matt. 26:63; Mark 5:7), where the [[Text:EBD:High priest (EBD)|high priest]] calls upon [[Text:EBD:Christ (EBD)|Christ]] to avow his true character. It would seem that in such a case the person so adjured could not refuse to give an answer.
The word "adjure", i.e., cause to swear is used with reference to the casting out of [[Text:EBD:Demon (EBD)|demons]] (Acts 19:13).
