ὅρκος - Object by Which One Swears

You have heard backwards that it was said to the Ancient ones, 'You will not swear falsely, but you will render/fulfill the Oaths to the Master of yourself.'^13a

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear a false oath, and thou shalt return to the Lord thine oaths.

LITV Translation:
Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: "You shall not swear falsely, but shall give your oaths to the Lord." Lev. 19:12; Num. 30:2

ESV Translation:
“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’

13a

ὅρκος: In Ancient Greek, ὅρκος has two primary meanings: (1) the entity or object by which one swears, acting as a witness to the oath. For the gods, this included sacred entities like the Styx (Il. 15.38), Zeus, Earth, or the Erinyes (Il. 2.755, 3.276ff., Od. 14.394), while for men, symbolic objects such as Achilles' sceptre (Il. 1.234) could serve this purpose; (2) the oath itself, as a solemn promise or binding agreement often invoking divine witnesses. Examples include taking an oath from someone (ἑλέσθαι τινός or τινί, Il. 22.119, Od. 4.746), swearing "by the gods" (ὅρκος θεῶν, Il. 20.313), or being bound by an oath (ὅρκῳ πιστωθῆναι, Od. 15.436). This dual meaning reflects the profound religious, social, and legal significance of oaths in Greek culture.
