Under common law a false oath is willfully giving a sworn statement without a sincere belief that it is truthful. For example: giving false statements on an application for marriage license. The laws vary in different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions it would constitute a common law misdemeanor.
Generally, a false statement would constitute perjury if committed in a judicial proceeding.
The two were generally separate offenses but some jurisdictions have combined them as different degrees of the same offense which is categorized loosely as perjury.
