The Statutes for Vows

1 Then Moses ^H4872 spoke ^H1696 to the heads ^H7218 of the tribes ^H4294 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, saying ^H559, “This ^H2088 is the word ^H1697 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 has commanded ^H6680.

2 If ^H3588 a man ^H376 makes ^H5087 a vow ^H5088 to Yahweh ^H3068 or ^H176 swears ^H7650 an oath ^H7621 to bind ^H631 himself ^H5315 with a binding ^H632 obligation ^H632, he shall not violate ^H2490 his word ^H1697; he shall do ^H6213 according to all ^H3605 that proceeds ^H3318 out ^H3318 of his mouth ^H6310.

3 “Also if ^H3588 a woman ^H802 makes ^H5087 a vow ^H5088 to Yahweh ^H3068 and binds ^H631 herself by an obligation ^H632 in her father’s ^H1 house ^H1004 in her youth ^H5271, 4 and her father ^H1 hears ^H8085 her vow ^H5088 and her obligation ^H632 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315, and her father ^H1 [fn]says ^H2790 nothing ^H2790 to her, then all ^H3605 her vows ^H5088 shall stand ^H6965, and every ^H3605 obligation ^H632 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315 shall stand ^H6965. 5 But if ^H518 her father ^H1 should forbid ^H5106 her on the day ^H3117 he hears ^H8085 of it, none ^H3605 H3808 of her vows ^H5088 or her obligations ^H632 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315 shall stand ^H6965; and Yahweh ^H3068 will pardon ^H5545 her because ^H3588 her father ^H1 had forbidden ^H5106 her.

6 “However, if ^H518 she should [fn]marry ^H1961 H376 while [fn]under ^H5921 her vows ^H5088 or ^H176 the rash ^H4008 statement ^H4008 of her lips ^H8193 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315, 7 and her husband ^H376 hears ^H8085 of it and says ^H2790 nothing ^H2790 to her on the day ^H3117 he hears ^H8085 it, then her vows ^H5088 shall stand ^H6965, and her obligations ^H632 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315 shall stand ^H6965. 8 But if ^H518, on the day ^H3117 her husband ^H376 hears ^H8085 of it, he forbids ^H5106 her, then he shall annul ^H6565 her vow ^H5088 which ^H834 [fn]she is under ^H5921 and the rash ^H4008 statement ^H4008 of her lips ^H8193 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315; and Yahweh ^H3068 will pardon ^H5545 her.

9 “But the vow ^H5088 of a widow ^H490 or of a divorced ^H1644 woman, everything ^H3605 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315, shall stand ^H6965 against ^H5921 her. 10 However, if ^H518 she vowed ^H5087 in her husband’s ^H376 house ^H1004 or ^H176 bound ^H631 herself ^H5315 by an obligation ^H632 with an oath ^H7621, 11 and her husband ^H376 heard ^H8085 it but said ^H2790 nothing ^H2790 to her and did not forbid ^H5106 her, then all ^H3605 her vows ^H5088 shall stand ^H6965, and every ^H3605 obligation ^H632 by which ^H834 she bound ^H631 herself ^H5315 shall stand ^H6965. 12 But if ^H518 her husband ^H376 indeed ^H6565 annuls ^H6565 them on the day ^H3117 he hears ^H8085 them, then whatever ^H3605 proceeds ^H4161 out of her lips ^H8193 concerning her vows ^H5088 or concerning the obligation ^H632 of herself ^H5315 shall not stand ^H6965; her husband ^H376 has annulled ^H6565 them, and Yahweh ^H3068 will pardon ^H5545 her.

13 “Every ^H3605 vow ^H5088 and every ^H3605 binding ^H632 oath ^H7621 to humble ^H6031 herself ^H5315, her husband ^H376 may cause it to stand ^H6965, or her husband ^H376 may annul ^H6565 it. 14 But if ^H518 her husband ^H376 indeed ^H2790 says ^H2790 nothing ^H2790 to her from day ^H3117 to day ^H3117, then he causes all ^H3605 her vows ^H5088 or ^H176 all ^H3605 her obligations ^H632 which ^H834 are on her to stand ^H6965; he has caused them to stand ^H6965 because ^H3588 he said ^H2790 nothing ^H2790 to her on the day ^H3117 he heard ^H8085 them. 15 But if ^H518 he indeed ^H6565 annuls ^H6565 them after ^H310 he has heard ^H8085 them, then he shall bear ^H5375 her guilt ^H5771.”

16 These ^H428 are the statutes ^H2706 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 Moses ^H4872, as between ^H996 a man ^H376 and his wife ^H802, and as between ^H996 a father ^H1 and his daughter ^H1323, while she is in her youth ^H5271 in her father’s ^H1 house ^H1004.
