Deuteronomy 4:24-27

4:24

God <0430> [thy God.]

jealous God <0410 07067> [a jealous God.]

4:25

produced <03205> [beget.]

become corrupt <07843> [corrupt. See on ver.]

make ........ do ... evil things <07451 06213> [do evil.]

4:26

invoke heaven <05749 08064> [I call heaven.]

A most solemn method of adjuration, in use among all the nations in the world; God and man being called upon to bear testimony to the truth of what was spoken, that if there was any flaw or insincerity it might be detected, and if any crime, it might not go unpunished. Such appeals to God shew at once the origin and use of oaths.

swiftly ..................... long <04118 0748> [ye shall.]
