1 Kings 8:31
The oath come before ... - " The oath" is equivalent to "the man who swears the oath." A slight alteration in the present Hebrew text gives the sense "and he (the accused) go and swear before thine altar," etc. The threats and the promises, the punishments and calamities of I Kings 8:31-38 were distinctly named in the Law. See the margin reference.
