Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, “This is what the Lord has commanded.
Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, “This is what the Lord has commanded.
The Law Concerning Vows
Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:
Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:
If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
Women and Vows
“If a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth,
“If a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth,
“Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,
and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.
But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the Lord will forgive her, because her father opposed her.
But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will release her, because her father overruled her.
“If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,
“If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself,
and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand.
But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the Lord will forgive her.
But if her husband overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she took and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the Lord will release her.
(But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.)
“Also any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.
And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,
“If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath,
and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.
and her husband heard it, and made no response to her and did not overrule her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself shall stand.
But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the Lord will forgive her.
Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it, or her husband may make it void.
But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them.
Now if her husband makes no response whatever to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her; he confirms them, because he made no response to her on the day that he heard them.
But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
But if he does make them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.”
These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father’s house.
These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.
