“For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.”
“For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. ”
“For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.”
“For people swear by something greater than themselves, and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.”
“For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.”
“For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.”
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
