Ulangan 10:20

10:20 Revere the Lord your God, serve him, be loyal to him and take oaths only in his name.

Yesaya 19:18

19:18 At that time five cities ¹  in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord who commands armies. One will be called the City of the Sun. ² 

Yesaya 65:16

65:16 Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth ³ 

will do so in the name of the faithful God; ⁴ 

whoever makes an oath in the earth

will do so in the name of the faithful God. ⁵ 

For past problems will be forgotten;

I will no longer think about them. ⁶ 

[19:18]  ¹ sn The significance of the number “five” in this context is uncertain. For a discussion of various proposals, see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:376-77.

[19:18]  ² tc The Hebrew text has עִיר הַהֶרֶס (’ir haheres, “City of Destruction”; cf. NASB, NIV) but this does not fit the positive emphasis of vv. 18-22. The Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a and some medieval Hebrew mss read עִיר הָחֶרֶס (’ir hakheres, “City of the Sun,” i.e., Heliopolis). This reading also finds support from Symmachus’ Greek version, the Targum, and the Vulgate. See HALOT 257 s.v. חֶרֶס and HALOT 355 s.v. II חֶרֶס.

[65:16]  ³ tn Or “in the land” (NIV, NCV, NRSV). The same phrase occurs again later in this verse, with the same options.

[65:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “will pronounce a blessing by the God of truth.”

[65:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “will take an oath by the God of truth.”

[65:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “for the former distresses will be forgotten, and they will be hidden from my eyes.”
