To bind and loose are taken for condemning and absolving: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," Matthew 16:19 . By binding and loosing, in the language of the Jews, is understood, likewise, permitting and forbidding; or declaring any thing in a judicial manner to be permitted or forbidden; and on the promotion of their doctors, they put the keys into their hands with these words, "Receive the power of binding and loosing." So our Lord says, "I am not come to destroy," to unloose or dissolve, "the law, but to fulfil," that is, to confirm and establish it, Matthew 5:17 . See KEYS .
