- Why Did God Swear an Oath to Abraham? (Genesis 22:15–24)
How did Israel first hear God's oath?
God gave the reason for His oath: "because you have obeyed My voice." The Hebrew, shama'ta beqoli, comes from shama', to hear, and qol, voice, and Hebrew has one verb for hearing and obeying. At Sinai God offered Israel His covenant in the same words, so Israel heard their own calling in Abraham, who heard God's voice and acted on it.
