30 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.
