English term

enforced

English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion
[Eve] also adds the words 'or touch it' (Genesis 3:3). [...] Let me suggest that these words could have originated with Adam. It is possible that in the due exercise of his pre-fallen headship, he had enforced God's law-words with his own domestic law-words. Having faithfully restated God's law-words to the woman concerning the tree, he could have then added "so please, don't touch it" as a legitimate exercise of his headship.

potenciar / reforzar

Aún con todo, el uso del término en Inglés es dudoso. Generalmente, son las personas o los actos quienes llevan a cabo la acción de "enforce".
