The ARGUMENT.

Of fuppreffing the Truth, touching an unclean thing, not performing an Oath. In thefe cafes the Tranfgreffor is to confefs his Sin, and bring his Offering either of the Flock, Fowls, or fine Flour. Of Sacrilege and other Sins through ignorance, and the Offering in thofe cafes.

1. THE voice of Swearing: Or rather the voice of adjuration. It was

the Cuftom among the Jews for the Judges and MagiItrates to adjure Men

were

that were before them, whether they were accufed, or Witneffes, to speak the truth. And this they were wont to do by the holy Name of God. And we have Examples of this folemn way of Adjuration in 1 Kings 22. 16. 2 Chron. 18. 15. Matt. 26. 63. He that in this cafe fuppreffed his Knowledge, contracted a guilt, and upon that account was obliged to bring his Offering, v.6. And Men were under a temptation to conceal their knowledge, where their revealing it would bring them into danger. Whofo is partner with a thief, hateth his own foul: he heareth curfing (or adjuration, it being the fame word, which is here rendred wearing) and bewrayeth it not, Prov. 29. 24. Bear bis iniquity: He shall be guilty, and liable to punifh

ment.
