If a man sin. — Kings, “whatever a man sin.”
And an oath be laid upon him. — And he (i.e., his neighbour or, indefinitely, people) lay an oath upon him. (See Exodus 22:11.)
And the oath come before thine altar. — And he (the offender) enter upon an oath before thine altar. (Comp. Ezekiel 17:13.) But all the versions have, “and he come, and swear before thine altar,” a difference which involves merely the prefixing of one letter (w) to the Hebrew word rendered “oath.”
