⁴或是有人 嘴 里冒失发誓 ，要行恶 ，要行善 ，无论人 在甚么事上冒失 发誓 ，他却不知道 ，一知道了 就要在这其中的一件 上有了罪 。

⁴Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

⁴ Verse 4. To do evil, or to do good] It is very likely that

rash promises are here intended; for if a man vow to do an act

that is evil, though it would be criminal to keep such an oath or

vow, yet he is guilty because he made it, and therefore must

offer the trespass-offering. If he neglect to do the good he has

vowed, he is guilty, and must in both cases confess his iniquity,

and bring his trespass-offering.
