12 [1] [AND YE SHALL NOT SWEAR BY MY NAME FALSELY.] This follows *Ye shall not steal*, for the one who is suspected of theft and dealing falsely with regard to a deposit swears. Scripture employs the plural *ye shall not swear* because it wants to include the one who causes an oath to be taken.
[2] Scripture reads, *so that thou profane the name of thy God* because, as I have noted, the one who swears falsely denies God.
