Oath A solemn appeal to God, permitted on fitting occasions (Deu 6:13; Jer 4:2), in various forms (Gen 16:5; Sa2 12:5; Rut 1:17; Hos 4:15; Rom 1:9), and taken in different ways (Gen 14:22; Gen 24:2; Ch2 6:22). 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).
