Whatever you say as either in an oath, or
a verbal promise, you really need to keep it
by doing it and avoid breaking your word.
Why? When you make a holy vow as to the
LORD or a spoken agreement, your mouth
has connected your soul to a set of action(s).
"Be slow to speak and quick to listen" is not
just an recommendation, it is a life-path of
keeping your soul free from bondage. How?
Your verbal promises instantly bind words
into your soul just as bookmarks are saved
in a browser. They become reference points
of (yet) to-do that are never deleted from your
soul-life.
In this way, they can either boost your own
testimony as a victorious journey, or potentially
bring shame, guilt and remorse into your heart.
Your conscience, therefore, is working very
closely with everything out of your mouth in
order to monitor so as to approve or condemn
your soul.
This is why men who consistently break their
promises will deaden their conscience and so
doing eventually sell their soul to emptiness,
poverty and bondage.
Numbers 30:2 KJV
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with
a bond; he shall not break his word, he
shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
Strong's H631 - Acar - to bind
Strong's H632 - Ecar - with or by a bond

My Word Is My Bond
dictum meum pactum, my word [is] my bond,
Motto of the London Stock Exchange.
It's a maritime brokers' motto. Since 1801 the
motto of the London Stock Exchange (in Latin
"dictum meum pactum") where bargains are
made with no exchange of documents and no
written pledges being given. "My word is my bond"
as brokers say (or "my word, my bond!")
to bind by a bond

RIGHT OF 1st REFUSAL
Numbers 30:2-4, 10, 12 KJV
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with
a bond; he shall not break his word,
he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth. [v3] If a woman also vow
a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by
a bond, [being] in her father's house in her
youth; [v4] And her father hear her vow,
and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace
at her: then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul shall stand. [v10] And if she vowed in
her husband's house, or bound her soul by
a bond with an oath; [v12] But if her husband
hath utterly made them void on the day he
heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded
out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not
stand: her husband hath made them void;
and the LORD shall forgive her.

QUID PRO QUO / An Equivalent Exchange
How did Jesus handle the topic of forgiveness?
For the first thirty years we really don't
have any idea other than the cultural norms
of first century Israel under Roman ruling
occupation. We have a brief glimpse during
His public ministry lasting 3.5 years.
The LORD's Prayer has a reference to His explicit
rule about forgiveness.
Matthew 6:12 KJV
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
Matthew 6:15 KJV
"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
The bible' definition of 'forgiveness' is
provided by Strong's G863: - Aphiemi (verb)
to bid going away or to depart; to send forth,
yield up, to expire; to let go, let alone, let
be, to omit, to disregard, neglect; to give up
a debt, forgive, to remit, to keep no longer;
to permit, allow, not to hinder, to give up;
to leave, go way from one, to depart; to desert,
to leave one (left behind); leave remaining,
abandon, leave (destitute)
See Reference At:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G863&t=KJV
If we take the word 'forgiveness' and then use
a phrase such as: 'not to hinder by letting it
go' we can reconfigure in context the following:
"But if you do not stop hindering other people's
trespasses, then neither will your Heavenly
Father let go any of your trespasses either."
Something given in return for a item of equivalent value.

Jesus clearly demonstrated how He had authority
to forgive men's sins. He was capable of letting
it go as He did not hinder other people's trespasses
against Him. He was able to completely make their
trespasses totally depart from His relationships.
Their trespasses never did get in His way to either
build a relationship or teach His followers how to
avoid becoming trapped in their own sins.
Because Jesus did not withhold forgiveness to any
during the days while He lived in the land of the
living, He became justified to be received by to
His Heavenly Father after He died on the cross
because Jesus was free of trespass, sins and faults.
Therefore, His forgiveness of Others became His
way to fully integrate Himself into the 'sinless,
spotless Lamb of God' role. (see: 1st Peter 1:19).
Notice how there were no prerequisites or prior
requirements necessary for Jesus to generously
give to Others all of His forgiveness. He freely
offered it to any and all.
