Numbers 30:2
A man who vows to YHWH or binds himself by an oath must not break his word. The chapter treats spoken commitments as covenant-accountable acts, which helps explain why Jesus later attacks manipulative oath-making and calls for simple truthful speech.
Jesus summarizes Torah requirements about truthful oaths and fulfillment of vows before commanding a plain yes/no integrity that makes manipulative oath systems unnecessary. His teaching intensifies rather than trivializes the Torah concern that words sworn before God must be truthful and kept.
