3. Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be
that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
4. Or if a soul 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.
5. And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things,
that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6. And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord for his sin
which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the
goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for
him concerning his sin.
LEV. VI, 2. If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and
lie unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or in
fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his
neighbor;
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:
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,
5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even
restore it 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.
6. And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord, a ram
without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a
trespass-offering, unto the priest.
3. SWEARING BY CREATURES FORBIDDEN.
MATT. V, 34. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is God's throne:
35. Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city of the great King.
36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make
one hair white or black.
MATT. XXIII, 16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever
shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by
the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18. And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar
that sanctifieth the gift?
20. Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by
all things thereon.
21. And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him
that dwelleth therein.
22. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God,
and by him that sitteth thereon.
