The meaning of Require in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
re-kwir': "Require" meant originally "seek after," whence "ask," and so (as in modern English) "demand." All meanings are common in the King James Version (e.g. I Samuel 21:8; Ecclesiastes 3:15; Ezra 8:22; I Corinthians 4:2), and the Revised Version (British and American) has made little change.
