If there were no lies, there would be no need for oaths. But there are many lies, so how can we tell who is telling the truth? In every culture, oaths are solemn vows which bring a curse on the person who breaks them. The idea is that the bigger the authority you put yourself under, the more reliable the statement must be. So people might swear an oath by heaven, implying that heaven would have the right to judge if it was not the truth.
