Enjoin \En*join"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Enjoined; p. pr. & vb.
   n. Enjoining.] [F. enjoindre, L. injungere to join into,
   charge, enjoin; in + jungere to join. See Join, and cf.
   Injunction.]
   1. To lay upon, as an order or command; to give an injunction
      to; to direct with authority; to order; to charge.
      [1913 Webster]

            High matter thou enjoin'st me.        --Milton.

   Note: Enjoin has the force of pressing admonition with
         authority; as, a parent enjoins on his children the
         duty of obedience. But it has also the sense of
         command; as, the duties enjoined by God in the moral
         law. "This word is more authoritative than direct, and
         less imperious than command." --Johnson.
         [1913 Webster]

3. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Enjoin \En*join"\, v. t.
