Require

REQUIRE [isbe]

REQUIRE - re-kwir': "Require" meant originally "seek after," whence "ask," and so (as in modern English) "demand." All meanings are common in the King James Version (e.g. 1 Sam 21:8; Eccl 3:15; Ezr 8:22; 1 Cor 4:2), and the Revised Version (British and American) has made little change.
