<p> (אֵָסר, ''Esar','' or אַסָּר, ''Issar','' a moral ''Obligation; Δεσμός,'' a physical means of restraint) is used for an obligation of any kind in &nbsp;Numbers 30:2; &nbsp;Numbers 30:4; &nbsp;Numbers 30:12, (See [[Vow]]); metaphorically, the word signifies oppression, captivity, affliction (&nbsp;Psalms 116:16; &nbsp;Philippians 1:7).
