COMMENTS
 
*1 Is54-09 speaks about the OATH not to repeat the flood. However
we find no OATH not to repeat the flood but we do find a
REPEATED PROMISE (I WILL NOT I WILL NOT). We infer that a
REPEATED PROMISE is equivalant to an oath

*2 Rashi also makes a point that the PAST tense is used here
to indicate a PRESENT activity. This list will be analyzed
in another digest. Right now we are only concerned with
the synonyms for OATH

*3 Rashi-s literal language is
---------------------------------------------
Because of the oath I took to the Patriarchs
therefore I will redeem the Jews
---------------------------------------------

But we have interpreted it to mean
---------------------------------------------
Because of the oath I took to the Patriarchs
therefore I will SWEAR again to redeem the Jews
---------------------------------------------

This translation is consistent with Rashis translation
of THEREFORE as an OATH in Nu20-12c.

*4 Rashi gives more details on this oath and connects it
to Moses prayer. But Rashis basic idea is that I GOD AM ALIVE
is an oath.

*5 Rashi explains why AS I LIVE means an oath
-----------------------------------------
It is like a person saying AS LONG AS I
LIVE I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO SUCH AND SUCH
