Strong's Lexicon omnuó: To swear, to take an oath Original Word: ὀμνύω Word Origin: A prolonged form of a primary but obsolete word, possibly akin to ὄμνυμι (omnumi), which is a more ancient form. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7650 - שָׁבַע (shaba): To swear, to take an oath - H7621 - שְׁבוּעָה (shevuah): Oath, vow Usage: The Greek verb ὀμνύω (omnuó) is used in the New Testament to denote the act of swearing or taking an oath. It implies making a solemn promise or declaration, often invoking a divine witness. This term is used in contexts where individuals affirm the truth of their statements or the seriousness of their commitments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, oaths were a common practice to affirm truthfulness and bind agreements. Swearing by something greater, such as God or sacred objects, was intended to add weight to one's words. However, the misuse of oaths was cautioned against, as it could lead to perjury or the trivialization of sacred commitments. In Jewish tradition, oaths were regulated by the Mosaic Law, which emphasized the importance of fulfilling vows made to God (Numbers 30:2).
