Lev. 19:11      Lev. 19:13

Leviticus 19:12

You shall not swear falsely by my name;
for then you profane [singular] the name of your God. I am the Lord (Yahweh).
[The first action is a physical act (theft), followed by three verbal acts. A rabbinical interpretation is that the four acts are connected and follow as consequences of each other. A thief must lie, deceive, and ultimately even bear false witness to conceal his crime. Throughout this chapter, our actions toward our fellow human beings are linked to our relationship with God, which is also reinforced by the shift from the plural "you" to the personal "you" in verse 12b.]
