Heb. lift up my hand. The ancient mode of appealing to God was by lifting up the right hand, and was considered as a form of swearing. Hence yamin, in Hebrew the right hand, is in Arabic an oath, and as a verb, to take an oath. A similar custom prevailed among the heathens. See Virg. ÆÆn. 1. xii. v. 196. Gen 14:22; Deu 32:40; Eze 20:5,6,15,23,28,42; Eze 36:7; Eze 47:14 |
