Leviticus 5:4

Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be guilty in one of these.

Or if a soul {H5315} swear {H7650}, pronouncing {H981} with his lips {H8193} to do evil {H7489}, or to do good {H3190}, whatsoever it be that a man {H120} shall pronounce {H981} with an oath {H7621}, and it be hid {H5956} from him; when he knoweth {H3045} of it, then he shall be guilty {H816} in one {H259} of these.

If someone allows to slip from his mouth an oath to do evil or to do good, and he doesn't remember that he clearly spoke this oath, then, no matter what it was about, when he learns of it, he is guilty.

Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.

Or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things.
