1
Thou shalt sweara by my name, YHVHb for I am thy Elohimc, and this thou shall do by the reckoning of the Ruach HaKodeshd, and by nothing less:
2
Neither by the heavens, for the throne of El Elyona is there; nor by the hostsb thereof, for they serve me;
3
Nor by the earth, for it is the place of the sole of my foot; nor by the inhabitants thereof, for they are mortal, and vane;
4
Nor by thyself, for thou art of a daya, and shalt cease; nor by any work of mankindb, for it perisheth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
5
¶ Remember that I, YHVH thy Elohim, spoke by the power and authority of mine own name, and this because there is none greater:
6
And by the greater shalt thou swear, even by Elohim Shaddaia, whose is the Kingdom under the whole of the heavens.
7
Thou shalt not swear by the name of any other elohima; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
9
But such oaths only as my Toraha requireth of thee and alloweth, shalt thou take upon thee; for all else is profane.
10
Thou shalt not profanea the name of El Elyon by any oath or vow, of thine own; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
11
¶ And thou shall make thy oath before the Rabbia, and the Judge, and the Rulerb, and the Minister of the Torah; and before such as are set in authority, whensoever they require it:
12
And there may be an oath also between those who enter into a covenanta, and also between they that servethb, and they that orderethc; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
13
¶ Thou shalt perform all thine oaths; whether unto Ha’Elohima or unto mankind, thou shalt perform them; thou shalt do according to every word that proceedeth out of thy mouth.
14
Thou shalt not speak with thy lips when thy hearta giveth not assent, to do and to perform all the words of thy mouth;
15
And if thou swear by an oath to do anything which is known to thee, and it be sin, it is not an oath of mine;
16
Thou canst not profane the name of the holy to sanctify sin; I shall judge thee, and they that asketh it of thee, and thou shall bear your sins together; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
17
¶ And if thou swear by an oath to do a thing, and it be hid from thee, and thou know it not, and when it is known to thee it is sin;
18
Thou shalt submit thyself unto the judgment of Ha’Elohim, and shalt do penance; and shalt make restitution, as shall be put upon thee, offering up a sin offeringa;
19
And this that all sin may be put away, and thy hearta purified, and wickedness put out of the land; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
20
¶ And if thy wife swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at her, the day that thou hearest it, her oath shall stand;
21
If thou wilt not that she perform it, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for her oath, and shalt bear her iniquity; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
22
¶ If thy daughter or thy son swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace to thy child the day that thou hearest it, the oath shall stand;
23
If thou wilt not that the oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shalt bear the iniquity of thy child; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
24
¶ And if thy servant swear by an oath to do a thing which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at them, the day that thou hearest it, their oath shall stand;
25
If thou wilt not that this oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shall bear the iniquity of thy servant; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
26
Thou shall make no oathsa; but if thou should vow a vow unto me, or swear an oath to bind thy soul with a bond; then thou shall not break thy word, thou shall do according to all that proceedeth out of thy mouth.
27
Thou shalt neither make any oaths with nor shall thou respect the oaths of the Mahana; but in righteousness shalt thou make and keep all thy oaths that thou shall keep my statutes; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
