Leviticus19:12
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsly , neither shalt thou prophane the name of thy God : I am the LORD.
This is here added, to shew, how one sin draws on another, and that when men will lye for their own advantage they will easily be induced to perjury.
By any unholy use of it. So it is an additional precept, thou shalt not abuse my holy name by swearing either falsly or rashly. Or this may be a reason of the former prohibition, because in so doing thou wilt prophane the name of thy God.
