Require (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

rḗ - kwı̄r ´: "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 Samuel 21:8; Ecclesiastes 3:15; Ezra 8:22; 1 Corinthians 4:2 ), and the Revised Version (British and American) has made little change.
