Footnote

b Other cases of God’s swearing with an oath or with upraised hand are: To the forefathers: Numbers 11:12; 32:11; Deuteronomy 1:8, 35; Micah 7:20. To Israel: Numbers 14:16, 28, 30; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalm 95:10, 11; Hebrews 3:17, 18; 4:3; Ezekiel 20:5, 6. To Moses: Deuteronomy 4:21.

It is interesting to note that Jehovah God swears by his own name (Jer. 44:26, 27); by his own soul (Jer. 51:14; Amos 6:8); by his holiness (Amos 4:2); by the “Superiority of Jacob” (Amos 8:7); by his own self (Isa. 45:23; Jer. 49:13; 22:5); just as he lives forever (Deut. 32:40, 41); and regarding his purpose (Isa. 14:24); regarding another flood (Isa. 54:9); and regarding the eating and drinking of his servants.—Isa. 62:8, 9.
