According to the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, that “the inclination of the Jewish people to confirm all possible statements by an oath ” was very strong may be discerned from passages of the Talmud, which painstakingly specifies which oaths were to be considered binding and which were not.
« Иудейчүүд хэлсэн болгоноо батлах гэж тангарагладаг нь ёс юм шиг болсныг » Талмудаас (иудейн шашны хуулийн эмхэтгэл) мэдэж болно гэж нэгэн толь бичигт тэмдэглэжээ (« Theological Dictionary of the New Testament »).
