א֣וֹ נֶ֡פֶשׁ כִּ֣י תִשָּׁבַע֩ לְבַטֵּ֨א בִשְׂפָתַ֜יִם לְהָרַ֣ע ׀ א֣וֹ לְהֵיטִ֗יב לְ֠כֹל אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְבַטֵּ֧א הָאָדָ֛ם בִּשְׁבֻעָ֖ה וְנֶעְלַ֣ם מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְהוּא־יָדַ֥ע וְאָשֵׁ֖ם לְאַחַ֥ת מֵאֵֽלֶּה׃
혹 누구든지 무심 중에 입으로 맹세를 발하여 악을 하리라 하든지 선을 하리라 하면 그 사람의 무심 중에 맹세를 발하여 말한 것이 어떠한 일이든지 깨닫지 못하다가 그것을 깨달을 때에는 그 중 하나에 허물이 있을 것이니
Jerusalem Talmud Shevuot
HALAKHAH: “A vain oath,” etc. A person, a person. Since by a person which was said for an oath of testimony He made the one at whom the oath was directed like one swearing, so also by a person which was said for an oath of deposit He made the one at whom the oath was directed like one swearing165The text here can be understood by a comparison with Halakhah 4:8. Lev. 5:1 starts: But a person who would sin. V. 21 stars: A person who would sin. The topic of v. 1 is a person whom another person makes swear indirectly (Note 164) that he will testify in court on his behalf but who then reneges on his promise, thereby breaking his oath. V. 21 describes a person who commits sacrilege towards the Eternal by lying to his fellow man about a deposit, or a partnership, or robbery. One commits sacrilege by swearing falsely. The parallel language implies that swearing falsely about money matters does not necessarily mean to utter a formal oath. The sin of swearing falsely also has been committed if the injured party says to the accused in the presence of witnesses, “swear to me that you do not owe me” and the person then answers “Amen”..
