  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.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              I am enjoined by oath to observe three things.
                                                    --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Law) To prohibit or restrain by a judicial order or
        decree; to put an injunction on.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              This is a suit to enjoin the defendants from
              disturbing the plaintiffs.            --Kent.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     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]
