Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 5:4

4 Or 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 .

To wit, rashly, without consideration either of Gods law or his own power or right, as David did, 1 Sam. 25. 22.

Either 1. to himself, to wit, to punish himself, either in his body, or estate or something else which is dear to him. Or rather 2. to his neighbour, as 1 Sam. 25. 22. Act. 23. 12.

To wit, to his neighbour, as Mark 6. 23. when a man either may not or cannot do it, which may frequently happen.

(i. e.) He did not know or not consider that what he swore to do was or would be impossible or unlawful.

When he discovers it to be so either by his own consideration or by information from others.

Either in the good or evil which he swore to do.
