3046、“为这话向他起誓”表示一种神圣义务。这从“起誓”的含义清楚可知，“起誓”是指义务，事实上是指最神圣的义务，因为仆人指着耶和华天上的神和地上的神起誓（参看3023节）。因此，它表示一个誓言，因为一个誓言无非是一个义务。
Potts(1905-1910) 3046
3046. And sware to him concerning this word. That this signifies a sacred obligation, is evident from the signification of "swearing," as being a binding pledge, and indeed a most holy one, because he swore by Jehovah the God of heaven and the God of the earth (see n. 3023); and thus a sacred obligation, for a sacred obligation is nothing else than a binding pledge.
Elliott(1983-1999) 3046
3046. 'And swore to him concerning this matter' means a very solemn undertaking. This is clear from the meaning of 'swearing' as a bond, and indeed a most sacred bond since he swore by 'Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth', as dealt with in 3023. It is accordingly a very solemn undertaking, for a very solemn undertaking is nothing else than a bond.
Latin(1748-1756) 3046
3046. `Et adjuravit ei super verbo hoc': quod significet sacramentum, constat a significatione `adjurare' quod sit obstrictio, et quidem sanctissima, quia per Jehovam Deum caeli et Deum terrae, de qua n. 3023, ita sacramentum; nam sacramentum non aliud est quam obstrictio.
