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.
