interesting. But isn't Jesus clear tho when he says 'do not swear' , James too.
Back in the days, when legal system was still "trust me bro", a lot of swearing on God's name was used. And perhaps why its seen as a common mode in OT.
I believe Jew's Torah is from Genesis to Deuteronomy. Islam's Quran is similar to OT (except that it diverges from Abraham's time) - but they still practice claiming God's name to prove innocence through Shari law).
Catholicism, Greek Orthodox and Protestant consume Old and New Testaments (tho Catholicism and Greek Orthodox have an extra chapter in the OT which I have not read yet), But all 3 divergent tend to adopt the New Testaments in superseding the old, based on what Jesus said - and direct Bible translations (based on which version)
I grew up orthodox methodist to pentecostal so it was no using God's name in vain and no swearing too, lol - maybe similar to any orthodox environment.
