39
내가 또 간음하고 사람의 피를 흘리는 여인을 국문함 같이 너를 국문하여 진노의 피와 투기의 피를 네게 돌리고
에스겔 36:22
22
그러므로 너는 이스라엘 족속에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 이스라엘 족속아 내가 이렇게 행함은 너희를 위함이 아니요 너희가 들어간 그 열국에서 더럽힌 나의 거룩한 이름을 위함이라
Swear
In Genesis 21:23, this signifies affirmation.
The Lord swearing by himself signifies that divine truth testifies, for He is divine truth itself, and this testifies from itself and means itself. It says 'Jehovah swears' because the children of Israel had a representative church, and so the Lord's conjunction with the church was represented in a covenant similar to two people swearing their trust. This is why swearing was used to seal a covenant or deal. When 'Jehovah swears' it does not mean that He really did swear, but that divine truth testifies or bears testimony to the things asserted.
