Valery, can you give an English example of what you mean? I don’t understand.

To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God's throne and by the one who sits on that throne.
Matthew 23:22

он молится на Конституцию точно так же, как и все они"

In that case, we only use BY with God, even thought it’s more common to swear TO God. Otherwise, we swear ON (my children’s heads, my mother’s memory, etc.).

давать клятву чем-либо/кем- либо - так даже по-русски не говорят.
