Engage (Hastings' Dictionary)

Jer 30" only, 'who is this that engageth his heart to approach unto me?' (3"!J( Sa'j-n^ ; Vulg. 'applicet cor suum'). Engage is ased in the sense of 'pledge,' though to 'engage one's heart' seems to be a unique expression. Sliaks. has ' I do engage my life,' and ' I will en- gage my words,' where the meaning is nearly the same. The older VSS vary : Gov. ' what is he, that feveth over his herte'; Gen. ' tliat directt'th his eart'; Dou. 'that applieth his hart.' KV tr.

' that hath had boldness to approach unto them,' with marg. ' Ueb. hath been surety for his heart.' J. Hastivos.
