Men and Vows
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.
A man who makes a vow to the LORD or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do.
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 young woman makes a vow to the LORD or a pledge under oath while she is still living at her father’s home,
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,
and her father hears of the vow or pledge and does not object to it, then all her vows and pledges will stand.
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 refuses to let her fulfill the vow or pledge on the day he hears of it, then all her vows and pledges will become invalid. The LORD will forgive her because her father would not let her fulfill them.
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.
“Now suppose a young woman makes a vow or binds herself with an impulsive pledge and later marries.
“If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,
If her husband learns of her vow or pledge and does not object on the day he hears of it, her vows and pledges will stand.
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.
But if her husband refuses to accept her vow or impulsive pledge on the day he hears of it, he nullifies her commitments, and the LORD will forgive her.
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.
If, however, a woman is a widow or is divorced, she must fulfill all her vows and pledges.
(But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.)
“But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband’s home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge.
And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,
If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand.
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.
But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the LORD will forgive her.
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.
So her husband may either confirm or nullify any vows or pledges she makes to deny herself.
But if he does not object on the day he hears of it, then he is agreeing to all her vows and pledges.
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.
If he waits more than a day and then tries to nullify a vow or pledge, he will be punished for her guilt.”
But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
These are the regulations the LORD gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter who still lives at home.
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.
