Daily Bible Verse Analysis Hebraic Torah-based reflection on Matthew 14:7 The Danger of a Dishonest Oath: A Lesson in Torah and Truth Verse Text: Matthew 14:7 "Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask." Key concepts: Covenant | Promise | Warning Introduction In this passage, we find a very sad story. King Herod makes a promise, but it is not a good promise.

Then, one day, someone knocks it down and takes most of the pieces away. When you try to build it again with the few pieces you have left, it looks small and plain.
