Undertake
Undertake
un-der-tak: To take upon one’s self, assume responsibility, and so in Elizabethan English be surety. In this sense in the King James Version Isa 38:14, O Lord,… undertake for me (, arabh, the Revised Version (British and American) be thou my surety). Perhaps in the same sense in Sirach 29:19, although the idea is scarcely contained in the Greek verb , dioko, pursue. In the modern sense in 1 Esdras 1:28; 2 Macc 2:29; 8:10; the King James Version 2:27. See SURE; SURETY.
