Sinossi
Excerpt from Dissertation on Oaths
As the practice of departing from the truth was one of the vices which, at an early day, was introduced among men; an appeal to the Supreme Being, as witness and judge, with an express or implied renunciation of his favour, in case a falsehood was uttered, appears to have been adopted upon solemn occasions, as a security against the prevailing mendacity. Among the ancient Hebrews it appears to have been usual for the juror to hold up his hand toward heaven when he pronounced the oath. Thus Abram told the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of Heaven and earth, that I will not take from a thread to a shoe-lachet; and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldst say I have made Abram rich. And in the 144th Psalm we find David praying for deliverance from the' hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand isa righthand of falsehood.
