Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 22:11

11 Then shall an Oath of the LORD be between them both , that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbours goods: and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

So called here as also 1 Kings 1. 43. because it is taken by his authority and appointment, and for his honour, and in his name alone, God being made both witness and judge and avenger thereby.

(i. e.) Shall [illegible: 1+ letters]nd the difference between them both the one shall give his Oath, and the other shall accept of it: Or be taken by them both, by the one that he did deliver them to him upon agreement and for hire, by the other, that he put not his hand to them.
