'Authorize' in the Bible

Even then, if the prophet speaks presumptuously in my name, which I didn't authorize him to speak, or if he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.'

When I arrive, I will send whomever you approve with letters [of authorization] to take your gift [of charity and love] to Jerusalem;

And I will authorize My two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
