The Three Oaths are oaths made on the Oath Rod by Aes Sedai when they are raised from Accepted. The oaths are: to speak no word that is not true, to make no weapon to be used by one man to kill another, and never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or as a last resort in defense of herself, her Warder, or another Aes Sedai.

| - The Three Oaths are oaths made on the Oath Rod by Aes Sedai when they are raised from Accepted. The oaths are: to speak no word that is not true, to make no weapon to be used by one man to kill another, and never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or as a last resort in defense of herself, her Warder, or another Aes Sedai.
- Before an Accepted is raised to be Aes Sedai she must swear three oaths on a ter'angreal called an Oath Rod that completely binds her to keep those oaths. The Three Oaths are as follows: 1.
* To speak no word that is not true 2.
* To make no weapon with which one man may kill another 3.
* Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defense of her life, the life of her Warder, or another Aes Sedai In TWoTC it is stated that all three oaths were in place by the Trolloc Wars, certainly by the end.
- The Three Oaths (Hebrew: שלוש השבועות) is the popular name for a Midrash found in the Talmud, which relates that God adjured three oaths upon the world. Two of the oaths pertain to the Jewish people, and one of the oaths pertains to the nations of the world. The Jews for their part are sworn not to go up from Exile to the Land of Israel en masse and not to rebel against the other nations and the other nations in their turn are sworn not to subjugate the Jews excessively.

* Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defense of her life, the life of her Warder, or another Aes Sedai These oaths were never necessary in the past, however sometime between the Trolloc Wars and the War of the Hundred Years it was decided that Aes Sedai needed to show the world that their use of the One Power was not a threat, and so the Three Oaths became part of the Aes Sedai raising ceremony. In TWoTC it is stated that all three oaths were in place by the Trolloc Wars, certainly by the end. Phrasing sentences so as to lead the listener to conclusions the speaker desires without saying anything false, are "breath and bread" to Aes Sedai. They cannot lie outright though, unless they are Black Ajah. For an Aes Sedai to use the One Power as a weapon it is necessary that her or her Warder, or another Sister, are in a situation of danger, so they can also circumvent the third oath creating situations of danger as described above.
- The Three Oaths (Hebrew: שלוש השבועות) is the popular name for a Midrash found in the Talmud, which relates that God adjured three oaths upon the world. Two of the oaths pertain to the Jewish people, and one of the oaths pertains to the nations of the world. The Jews for their part are sworn not to go up from Exile to the Land of Israel en masse and not to rebel against the other nations and the other nations in their turn are sworn not to subjugate the Jews excessively. Amongst Orthodox Jews today there are primarily two different ways of viewing this Midrash. Many Haredim who are strongly anti-Zionist view this Midrash as absolutely binding (and thus akin to Halacha), whereas Religious Zionists understand it as a Divine decree that has expired. Both buttress their positions by citing historic rabbinic sources in favor of their view.
