The Greek word for "promised" (ὁμολογέω, homologeo) implies a public declaration or agreement, often carrying significant weight. In the ancient Near Eastern context, an oath was not merely a casual promise but a solemn vow invoking divine witness. The act of making an oath was deeply rooted in the cultural and religious practices of the time, where one's word was a reflection of their honor and integrity. The inclusion of "with an oath" underscores the seriousness of Herod's promise, highlighting the potential consequences of rash vows. This serves as a cautionary tale about the power of words and the importance of thoughtful deliberation before making commitments. to give her whatever she asked Parallel Commentaries ...
