When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
Τῷ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ ἐπαγγειλάμενος ὁ Θεός, ἐπεὶ κατ' οὐδενὸς εἶχεν μείζονος ὀμόσαι, ὤμοσεν καθ' ἑαυτοῦ,
Tō gar Abraam epaggeilamenos o Theos, epei kat' oydenos eichen meizonos omosai, ōmosen kath' eaytoy,
