tied
To bind, tie, or fetter; to confine or restrict movement; by extension, to join together (as in tying or yoking animals), and metaphorically, to imprison or capture. The core meaning relates to the physical act of making fast with bonds, which can extend figuratively to include imprisonment, preparation for an activity (e.g., battle), or organizing people or things in a specific arrangement. In passages where military imagery is used, it may refer to arranging or 'harnessing' in preparation for battle.
