(from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from
NT:5442, which is properly to prevent escaping; and from NT:2892, which implies
a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), i.e. to note (a prophecy;
figuratively, to fulfil a command); by implication, to detain (in custody;
figuratively, to maintain); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends;
figuratively, to keep unmarried); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends;
