“Ordain” is an archaic word; it is not used in everyday language anymore — except in Church where it is used to mean giving someone authority to minister (though The Church doesn’t have authority to keep people from service, since God alone gives spiritual gifts!).
In the King James Version, the word “ordain” is translated from eleven different Hebrew words and thirteen different Greek words. Twenty-four unique words supposedly all mean exactly the same thing. That incredible inconsistency should be proof enough of the absurdity of the word’s translation. Since there are so many words to discuss and none of them is predominant, I will simply list each Strong’s number with a possible translation (you should do some more research yourself; let me know if you find anything interesting):
