When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,

When God made his promise to Abraham, God gave his word. There was no one greater than himself to promise by. So he promised by making an appeal to himself.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself:

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,and said,“‘ I have sworn by myself,’ says Yahweh,‘ because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”

For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

the oath which he swore to Abraham, our father,

You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

For I have sworn by myself,” says Yahweh,“ that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”

I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them.

But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh,“ that this house will become a desolation.”’”
