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.
Menurut Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, dari kitab Talmud kita bisa mengetahui seberapa sering orang Yahudi bersumpah bahwa kata - kata mereka benar. Ini karena Talmud memerinci sumpah mana saja yang harus ditepati dan mana yang boleh dilanggar.
