And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, Thisisthe thing which theLORDhath commanded.
If a man vow a vow unto theLORD, 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.
If a woman also vow a vow unto theLORD, and bind herself by a bond,beingin her father’s house in her youth;
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.
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 theLORDshall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
And her husband heardit, and held his peace at her in the day that he heardit:then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heardit;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 theLORDshall forgive her.
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
And her husband heardit, and held his peace at her,anddisallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heardthem; thenwhatsoever 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 theLORDshall forgive her.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, whichareupon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heardthem.
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heardthem;then he shall bear her iniquity.
Thesearethe statutes, which theLORDcommanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter,being yetin her youth in her father’s house.
