[1] And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.
[1] ---
[2] If a man vow a vow to 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 proceeds out of his mouth.
[2] ---
[3] If a woman also vow a vow to the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth;
[3] ---
[4] And her father hear her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
[4] ---
[5] But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears; not any of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
[5] ---
[6] And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered something out of her lips, with which she bound her soul;
[6] ---
[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 with which she bound her soul shall stand.
[7] ---
[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, with which she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
[8] ---
[9] But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
[9] ---
[10] And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
[10] ---
[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 with which she bound her soul shall stand.
[11] ---
[12] But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day 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 the LORD shall forgive her.
[12] ---
[13] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
[13] ---
[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 on her: he confirms them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
[14] ---
[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he has heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
[15] ---
[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.
