Definition of 'adjuration'
From: Easton
- Adjuration a solemn appeal whereby one person imposes on another the obligation of speaking or acting as if under an oath (1 Sam. 14:24; Josh. 6:26; 1 Kings 22:16).
- We have in the New Testament a striking example of this (Matt. 26:63; Mark 5:7), where the high priest calls upon 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 demons (Acts 19:13).
