They make him swear with the oath that is written in the Torah, as it is said (Gen. 24:3), "I will swear to you by the Lord, the God of the Heavens, and the God of the Earth." They say to him, "Know that we do not administer an oath to you based on a stipulation in your heart; rather, your oath is taken based on our understanding and on the understanding of the court" (Ned. 25a:2, Steinsaltz tr.). And thus we find that Moses imposed an oath on the Children of Israel in the wilderness of Moab. He said to them, "Not on a stipulation in your heart," as it is said (Deut. 29:14), "And not with you alone [do I make this covenant]."
