Primary text

An oath to leave a dwelling includes the departure of the person himself and his family, similar to an oath not to inhabit it. This is because leaving a dwelling typically occurs multiple times daily, implying the oath intended the major departure (moving out), not the habitual exiting. The obligation is fulfilled upon the physical departure.
