Exegesis
The finite verb omnuei {ὀμνύει | omnúei} ‘swears’ supplies the main predicate, so that the articular participle and verb together form a general legal principle: whoever does this kind of swearing is in fact doing something further.
In context — Matthew 23:20
Therefore, the one who swears by the altar swears by it and by all the things that are on it .
