When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,

When God made his promise to Abraham, God gave his word. There was no one greater than himself to promise by. So he promised by making an appeal to himself.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself:

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second timeand said,“ I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” (niv)

People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. (niv)

the oath he swore to our father Abraham: (niv)

You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago. (niv)

By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. (niv)

the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: (niv)

I swear by myself,” declares the Lord,“ that Bozrah will become a ruin and a curse, an object of horror and reproach; and all its towns will be in ruins forever.” (niv)

I will destroy all her cattle from beside abundant waters no longer to be stirred by the foot of man or muddied by the hooves of cattle. (niv)

But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’” (niv)
