There are different ways to take an oath. Some use the phrase "I swear," together with statements such as "with (God) as my witness" or "so help me" to bind the promise they made. A ceremony is often held to mark the oath-taking. There are cultures wherein the oath-makers place their hand on a book of scripture when taking an oath so as to mark their sincerity and commitment to the promise.
There are also different types of people taking an oath. Politicians do this when they get elected, so as people giving statements to the court. Professionals such as doctors and lawyers undergo oath-taking ceremonies to promise to fulfill their duties. The types of oaths also come in a variety, including Hippocratic oath, Hittite military oath, and oaths of citizenship.
