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. Deuteronomy 30:18-19, Deuteronomy 31:28, Deuteronomy 32:1; Isaiah 1:2; Jeremiah 2:12, Jeremiah 6:19, Jeremiah 22:29; Ezekiel 36:4; Micah 1:2, Micah 6:2
