Core Text
יֵשׁ תְּנַאי בִּנְדָרִים וְאֵין תְּנַאי בִּשְׁבוּעוֹת... מַה דּוֹרוֹת הַבָּאִים אַחֲרֵיכֶם אֵין בְּלִבָּם תְּנַאי אַף אַתֶּם אֵין בְּלִבְּכֶם תְּנַאי

English: There is room for conditions in vows, but not in oaths... Just as the future generations have no mental reservation in their hearts, so too you have no mental reservation in your hearts.

The classical source expands or derives a specific point from the language of the passuk. The Core Text above is the relevant region of interest.

Type of Learning

Custom (A distinction between neder and shevuah derived from the inclusion of future generations, who clearly cannot have attached private conditions.)

What Is Learned

Because the covenant binds even those not yet born — who cannot possibly have made a mental condition — the same must be true of those who stood there. An oath of this kind admits no private reservation. The brit is absolute.
