What is our relationship to Yahweh supposed to be like?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 44 Notes For Deuteronomy: We are supposed to fear Him, serve Him, and cling to Him and He is supposed to be our praise for He is our Elohiym – and we are to remember all of the great and awesome things He has done in our life (Deuteronomy 10:20-21). In Deuteronomy 10:20-21 it says, "and swear by His Name" also. One purpose of this could have been so that if any Yisra'elites (Israelites) did swear, they would not be swearing by some name of some false pagan idols, etc.. If someone was going to swear, then they were being told to swear by His Name; which would mean to be teaching also to not swear by the Name of another. However, Yahushua taught us, "do not swear at all" in Matthew 5:34. With these new instructions, we know now that it is safer and better to not swear at all. We should just follow what Yahushua has commanded us to do and not swear at all.
