Num 30
1
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This
is the thing which YHWH has commanded.
2
When a man vows a vow to YHWH, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he
shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3
Also when a woman vows a vow to YHWH, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father`s
house, in her youth,
4
and her father hears her vow, and her bond wherewith she has bound her soul, and her
father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith
she has bound her soul shall stand.
5
But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her
bonds wherewith she has bound her soul, shall stand: and YHWH will forgive her, because
her father disallowed her.
6
And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance
of her lips, wherewith she has bound her soul,
7
and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then
her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she has bound her soul shall stand.
8
But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void
her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she has bound
her soul: and YHWH will forgive her.
9
But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] everything wherewith she
has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
10
And if she vowed in her husband`s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
11
and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then
all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
12
But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever
proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul,
shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and YHWH will forgive her.
13
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it,
or her husband may make it void.
14
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes
all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he has established them, because
he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
15
But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall
bear her iniquity.
16
These are the statutes, which YHWH commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between
a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father`s house.
