Leviticus 5:4
_ _ Leviticus 5:4-19. For swearing.
_ _ if a soul swear — a rash oath, without duly considering the nature and consequences of the oath, perhaps inconsiderately binding himself to do anything wrong, or neglecting to perform a vow to do something good. In all such cases a person might have transgressed one of the divine commandments unwittingly, and have been afterwards brought to a sense of his delinquency. |
Leviticus 5:4
If a soul swear — Rashly, without consideration either of God's law, or his own power or right, as David did, 1 Samuel 25:22. To do evil — To himself, to punish himself either in his body, or estate, or something else which is dear to him. Or rather to his neighbour. And it be hid from him — That is, he did not know, or not consider, that what he swore to do, was or would be impossible, or unlawful: When he discovers it to be so, either by his own consideration, or by information from others, whether it was good or evil which he swore to do. |
Leviticus 5:4
Or if a soul (b) swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be guilty in one of these.
(b) Or, vow rashly without just examination of the circumstances, and not knowing what shall be the issue of the same. |
