Numbers

Chapter 30

1 And Moses spoke unto the heads of the tribes
concerning the children of Israel, saying,
This is the thing which Jehovah/God has commanded.

2 If a man vow a vow unto Jehovah/God,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond;
he shall not break his word,
he shall do according to all that proceeded out of his mouth.

3 If a woman also vow a vow unto Jehovah/God,
and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth; 4
and her father hear her vow,
and her bond wherewith she has bound her soul,
and her father shall hold 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;
not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith
she has bound her soul, shall stand.

And Jehovah/God shall forgive her,
because her father disallowed her.

6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed,
or uttered nothing out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; 7
and her husband heard it,
and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it . . .
then her vows shall stand,
and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it;
then he shall make her vow which she vowed,
and that which she uttered with her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect.

And Jehovah/God shall forgive her.

9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,
wherewith they have bound their souls, 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 has utterly made them void
on the day he heard them;
then whatsoever 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 Jehovah/God shall 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 confirms them, because he held his peace at her
in the day that he heard them.

15 But if he shall any ways make them void
after that he has heard them;
then he shall bear her iniquity.

16 These are the statutes,
which Jehovah/God commanded Moses,
between a man and his wife,
between the father and his daughter,
being yet in her youth in her father's house.
