| Actually, the three oaths are only two for Israel and one for the nations(Shir Hashirim Rabbah,2:[7]1. The whole text of the source in the Talmud (Ketuvot 111a) continues by stating ...,and He(g-d) made the nations swear that they would not subjugate Israel too much. These oaths are linked interdependent one to the other. So as long as the burden of the exile was not "too much" Israel`s oath applied. Yet when the nations, in their cruel malice, inflicted unimaginable suffering and holocaust upon Israel, they violated their oath, thereby freeing Israel from theirs ie breach of one party frees the other. |
