Numbers 30
- 1
- And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning
the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
- 2
- If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to
bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according
to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
- 3
- If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, 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
hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall
stand.
- 5
- But if her father disallow her in the day that he
heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her
soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father
disallowed her.
- 6
- And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or
uttered ought 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 the
LORD 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 hath 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 hath
made them void; and the LORD 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 establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are
upon her: he confirmeth 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
hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
- 16
- These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses,
between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in
her youth in her father's house.
