Jos_2:17 And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

Ver. 17. We will be blameless of this thine oath,] q.d, Great haste though we have, yet will we clear up the terms whereunto we have sworn, to prevent the danger or rebut the suspicion of perjury. An oath is not to be taken but with a great deal of caution and circumspection, {Gen_24:3-5} not in jest, but in judgment, {Jer_4:2 Isa_48:1} not rashly and unadvisedly, {Lev_5:4 1Sa_14:39; 1Sa_14:44} as those that swear in heat and choler, when they should with fear, {Deu_10:20} discerning the nature of an oath, the necessity, the conditions and circumstances.
