فَحَزِنَ الْمَلِكُ جِدًّا. وَلأَجْلِ الأَقْسَامِ وَالْمُتَّكِئِينَ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا.And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.Mark 6:26, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
«أَيْضًا سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلْقُدَمَاءِ: لاَ تَحْنَثْ، بَلْ أَوْفِ لِلرَّبِّ أَقْسَامَكَ.Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:Matthew 5:33, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
