#### More Information About This Topic
In a court of law, a witness often makes an oath to promise that whatever the witness says will be the truth. Sometimes people do other physical actions to show they are making a serious oath. For example, they may lift one of their hands in the air or place one of their hands under another person’s thigh (see: Genesis 14:22-23; Genesis 24:9; Deuteronomy 32:40).

God also made oaths in which he made promises to his people (see: Genesis 8:21). God swore by himself or by his own name. He did this because there is nothing more perfect than God himself to use as the power of his oath (see: Genesis 22:15-18; Hebrews 6:13).
