And Moses spake
unto the heads
of the tribes
concerning the children
of Israel
, saying
, This is the thing
which the LORD
hath commanded
.
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
.
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
;
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 the LORD
shall 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 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
.
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.
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 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
.
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.
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
, which are upon her: he confirmeth
them, because he held his peace
at her in the day
that he heard
them .
But if he shall any ways make them void
after
that he hath heard
them ; then he shall bear
her iniquity
.
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
.
