The Key Word — שָׁבַע, vai.yi.sha.ve.'Ugenerated
The verb שָׁבַע (shaba`) means to swear an oath, indicating a serious promise made in the presence of God. The Niphal stem indicates a passive or reflexive action, suggesting the people are both the ones swearing and the ones bound by the oath.
In this verse, the act of swearing an oath is significant as it reflects a collective commitment to God, which is reinforced by the accompanying loud voice and joyful sounds. This word conveys a sense of binding oneself to a promise, particularly in a sacred context.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree that the people took an oath to the LORD, emphasizing their commitment.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is וַיִּשָּֽׁבְעוּ֙ (and they swore an oath), which governs the rest of the sentence. This verb is followed by several prepositional phrases that describe how the oath was made.
The structure emphasizes the communal aspect of the oath-taking, with the phrases with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with ram's horns all detailing the manner in which the oath was expressed.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, שָׁבַע is rendered as ὤμοσαν (ōmosan), which also means 'they swore'. This choice maintains the solemnity of the act but does not carry the same connotations of binding oneself as the Hebrew does.
The translation reflects a similar understanding of the act of swearing an oath, though the Greek may lack some of the cultural nuances present in the Hebrew.

oth (shebhu`ah, probably from shebha`, "seven," the sacred number, which occurs frequently in the ritual of an oath; horkos; and the stronger word 'alah, by which a curse is actually invoked upon the oath-breaker Septuagint ara)): In Mt 26:70-74 Peter first denies his Lord simply, then with an oath (shebhu`ah), then invokes a curse ('alah), thus passing through every stage of asseveration.
1. Law Regarding Oaths:
The oath is the invoking of a curse upon one's self if one has not spoken the truth (Mt 26:74), or if one fails to keep a promise (1Sa 19:6; 20:17; 2Sa 15:21; 19:23). It played a very important part, not only in lawsuits (
Oath
A solemn appeal to God, permitted on fitting occasions (Deut. 6:13; Jer. 4:2), in various forms (Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:5; Ruth 1:17; Hos. 4:15; Rom. 1:9), and taken in different ways (Gen. 14:22; 24:2; 2 Chr. 6:22). God is represented as taking an oath (Heb. 6:16-18), so also Christ (Matt. 26:64), and…
The principle on which an oath is held to be binding is incidentally laid down in (Hebrews 6:16) viz. as an ultimate appeal to divine authority to ratify an assertion. On the same principle, that oath has always been held most binding which appealed to the highest authority, as regards both individuals and communities. As a consequence of this principle, appeals to God’s name on the one hand, and to heathen deities on the other, are treated in scripture as tests of allegiance. (Exodus 23:13; 34:6; 29:12) etc. So also the sovereign’s name is sometimes used as a form of obligation. (Genesis 42:15; 2 Samuel 11:11; 14:19) Other forms of oath, serious or frivolous, are…
A solemn affirmation accompanied by an appeal to the Supreme Being. God has prohibited all false oaths, and all useless and customary swearing in ordinary discourse; but when the necessity or importance of a matter requires an oath, he allows men to swear by his name, Ex 22:11 Le 5:1. To swear by a false god was an act of idolatry, Jer 5:7 12:16.
Among the Hebrews an oath was administered by the judge, who stood up, and adjured the party who was to be sworn. In this manner our Lord was adjured by Caiaphas, Mt 26:63. Jesus had remained silent under long examination, when the high priest, rising up, knowing he had a sure mode of obtaining an answer said, "I adjure thee by the…
יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

Trumpets
Were of a great variety of forms, and were made of divers materials. Some were made of silver (Num. 10:2), and were used only by the priests in announcing the approach of festivals and in giving signals of war. Some were also made of rams’ horns (Josh. 6:8). They were blown at special festivals, and to herald the arrival of special seasons (Lev. 23:24; 25:9; 1 Chr. 15:24; 2 Chr. 29:27; Ps. 81:3; 98:6).
