Strong's Lexicon horkos: Oath Original Word: ὅρκος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὄμνυμι (omnumi), meaning "to swear" or "to take an oath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7621 (שְׁבוּעָה, shevu'ah): Refers to an oath or sworn statement. - H5087 (נֶדֶר, neder): Refers to a vow or promise made to God. Usage: In the New Testament, "horkos" refers to a solemn promise or vow, often invoking a divine witness, to affirm the truth of a statement or the binding nature of a commitment. It is used to emphasize the seriousness and inviolability of one's word. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, oaths were considered sacred and binding. They were often made in the name of God or the gods, and breaking an oath was seen as a serious offense with both social and spiritual consequences. In Jewish tradition, oaths were regulated by Mosaic Law, which emphasized the importance of truthfulness and the fulfillment of vows (e.g., Numbers 30:2, Deuteronomy 23:21-23).
