Oath:
is primarily equivalent to herkos, "a fence, an enclosure, that which restrains a person;" hence, "an oath." The Lord's command in Mat 5:33 was a condemnation of the minute and arbitrary restrictions imposed by the scribes and Pharisees in the matter of adjurations, by which God's Name was profaned. The injunction is repeated in Jam 5:12. The language of the Apostle Paul, e.g., in Gal 1:20; 1Th 5:27 was not inconsistent with Christ's prohibition, read in the light of its context. Contrast the "oaths" mentioned in Mat 14:7, 9; 26:72; Mar 6:26.
Hbr 6:16 refers to the confirmation of a compact among men, guaranteeing the discharge of liabilities; in their disputes "the oath is final for confirmation." This is referred to in order to illustrate the greater subject of God's "oath" to Abraham, confirming His promise; cp. Luk 1:73; Act 2:30. Cp. the verbs horkizo, and exorkizo, under ADJURE.
| 2 | Strong's Number: g3728 | Greek: horkomosia |
Oath:
denotes "an affirmation on oath" (from No. 1 and omnumi, "to swear"). This is used in Hbr 7:20, 21 (twice), 28 of the establishment of the Priesthood of Christ, the Son of God, appointed a Priest after the order of Melchizedek, and "perfected for evermore." In the Sept., Eze 17:18, 19.
Note: For anathematizo in Act 23:21, AV, "have bound (themselves) with an oath," see CURSE.
