lol the new testament has jesus saying it's not a good idea to take oaths. he is not creating new law, because the torah strictly forbids this. jesus also says not one jot or tittle will fall away from the law until "all is fulfilled" (still waiting on that). but they are not forbidden, in fact the torah has all kinds of rules around taking oaths. nazarites did them, for instance. paul even did a nazarite vow, i guess he though jesus would never find out.
>The Law permitted oaths under specific circumstances, such as when a person was entrusted with another’s property and needed to swear innocence if it was lost or damaged.
> In Exodus 22:10–11, an oath by the LORD was required to release the keeper from liability. Similarly, Numbers 30:2 affirms that if a man makes a vow or swears an oath to bind himself, he must not break his word and must fulfill all that comes from his mouth.

>God Himself was portrayed as taking oaths, particularly in relation to His covenant promises. >For instance, God swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would make their descendants a great nation and give them a special land.
> He also swore a firm promise to David regarding an everlasting posterity and rule.
>These divine oaths were seen as foundational to the covenant relationship between God and His people.
