- an oath of the LORD[YHWH]:
- "And if¹ a soulª sin,ª° and hearª° the voiceª of swearing,ª and [is] a witness,ª whetherª he hath seenª° or¹ knownª° [of it]; if¹ he do not¹ utterª° [it], then he shall bearª° his iniquity.ª" {Lev 5:1} + "Or¹ have foundª° that which was lost,ª and liethª° concerning it, and swearethª° falsely;ª¹ in¹ anyª of all¹¹ these that¹ a manª doeth,ª° sinningª° therein:ª" {Lev 6:3} + "And the kingª sentª° and calledª° for Shimei,ª and saidª° unto¹ him, Did I not¹ make thee to swearª° by the LORD,ª and protestedª° unto thee, saying,ª° Know²° for a certain,ª° on the dayª thou goest out,ª° and walkest²° abroad¹ any¹ whither,ª that¹ thou shalt surely²° die?ª° and thou saidstª° unto¹ me, The wordª [that] I have heardª° [is] good.ª ... Why¹ then hast thou not¹ keptª°¹ the oathª of the LORD,ª and the commandmentª that¹ I have chargedª° thee¹ with?" {1Kg 2:42-43} + "Lest¹ I be full,ª° and denyª° [thee], and say,ª° Who¹ [is] the LORD?ª or lest¹ I be poor,ª° and steal,ª° and takeª° the nameª of my Godª [in vain]." {Prv 30:9} + "Forª menª verilyª swearª° byª the¹ greater:ª andª an oathª forª confirmationª [is] to themª an endª of allª strife.ª" {Hbr 6:16}
