Leviticus 5:1

It were very much to be wished, that this law was paid attention to among those who profess themselves to be Christians, both in discountenancing idle and profane oaths, and putting a check to false swearing. Proverbs 29:24. It should seem, that it was by virtue of this law, the high priest adjured the LORD JESUS. Matthew 26:63.

Leviticus 5:1

1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
