“Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.”
You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name; -- fear, service, and oath-taking are the forms of loyalty. Swearing by the LORD's name (rather than by other gods) affirms exclusive allegiance.
