OATH

GEN 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto

the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

GEN 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I

will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made

Abram rich:

GEN 21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the

chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all

that thou doest:

GEN 21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal

falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the

kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land

wherein thou hast sojourned.

GEN 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou

hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

GEN 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over

all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

GEN 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God

of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of

the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

GEN 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master,

and sware to him concerning that matter.

GEN 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he

sold his birthright unto Jacob.

GEN 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his

friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

GEN 26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me,

and have sent me away from you?

GEN 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we

said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us

make a covenant with thee;

GEN 26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we

have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art

now the blessed of the LORD.

GEN 26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another:

and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

GEN 47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son

Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray

thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I

pray thee, in Egypt:

GEN 47:30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt,

and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

GEN 47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed

himself upon the bed's head.

EXO 22:10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or

any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept

thereof, and he shall not make it good.

EXO 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the

wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

LEV 6:2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his

neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a

thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

LEV 6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and

sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

LEV 6:4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall

restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath

deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing

which he found,

in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto

him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with

another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth

the curse:

NUM 5:20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if

thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

NUM 5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and

the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath

among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to

swell;

NUM 5:22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to

make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen,

amen.

NUM 5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot

them out with the bitter water:

NUM 5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth

the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become

bitter.

and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

JOS 2:14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our

business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will

deal kindly and truly with thee.

JOS 6:22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country,

Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she

hath, as ye sware unto her.

JOS 9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto

Jericho and to Ai,

JOS 9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been

ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and

rent, and bound up;

JOS 9:5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them;

and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

JOS 9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and

to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a

league with us.

JOS 9:7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell

among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

JOS 9:8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto

them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

JOS 9:9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come

because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and

all that he did in Egypt,

JOS 9:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond

Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at

Ashtaroth.

JOS 9:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to

us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say

unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

JOS 9:12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the

day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

JOS 9:13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold,

they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of

the very long journey.

JOS 9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth

of the LORD.

JOS 9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let

them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

JOS 9:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a

league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they

dwelt among them.

JOS 9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on

the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and

Kirjathjearim.

JOS 9:18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the

congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the

congregation murmured against the princes.

JOS 9:19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto

them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

JOS 9:20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be

upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

JOS 14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet

have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because

thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

JDG 11:10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness

between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

JDG 21:5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of

Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a

great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He

shall surely be put to death.

RTH 1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do

so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

RTH 3:13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will

perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part:

but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of

a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

1SA 19:6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the

LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

1SA 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that

I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest

he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is

but a step between me and death.

1SA 20:13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father

to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest

go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

1SA 20:14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the

LORD, that I die not:

1SA 20:15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever:

no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face

of the earth.

1SA 20:16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the

LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

1SA 20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for

he loved him as he loved his own soul.

1SA 24:21 Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off

my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's

house.

1SA 24:22 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men

gat them up unto the hold.

shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

2SA 3:35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was

yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread,

or ought else, till the sun be down.

2SA 19:7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy

servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry

one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil

that befell thee from thy youth until now.

also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a

certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou

shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

1KI 8:31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon

him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to

give him according to his righteousness.

2KI 2:2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath

sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul

liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

2KI 5:20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my

master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which

he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of

him.

son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.

NEH 5:12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of

them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath

of them, that they should do according to this promise.

NEH 5:13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his

house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he

shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the

LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

PSA 15:1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy

hill?

PSA 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the

truth in his heart.

PSA 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that

fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to

swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

God's throne:

MAT 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for

it is the city of the great King.
