God is represented as taking an oath (Heb 6:16), so also Christ (Mat 26:64), and Paul (Rom 9:1; Gal 1:20; Phi 1:8). The precept, \"Swear not at all,\" refers probably to ordinary conversation between man and man (Mat 5:34, Mat 5:37).","tags":["Biblical Names and Places","Biblical Reference","Easton's Bible Dictionary"],"text":null,"title":"Easton's Bible Dictionary","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":889}
