< Numbers 30 >

1 And he said to the princes of the tribes of the children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:
And he spoke Moses to [the] leaders of the tribes of [the] people of Israel saying this [is] the word which he has commanded Yahweh.
2 If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfill all that he promised.
A man if he will vow a vow to Yahweh or he will swear an oath to bind an obligation on self his not he will violate word his according to every [thing which] has gone out from mouth his he will do.
3 If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father’s house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:
And a woman if she will vow a vow to Yahweh and she will bind an obligation in [the] house of father her in youth her.
4 Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfill in deed.
And he will hear father her vow her and obligation her which she has bound on self her and he will keep silent to her father her and they will stand all vows her and every obligation which she has bound on self her it will stand.
5 But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.
And if he forbade father her her on [the] day heard he all vows her and obligations her which she has bound on self her not it will stand and Yahweh he will forgive her for he forbade father her her.
6 If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:
And if certainly she will belong to a husband and vows her [are] on her or [the] rash utterance of lips her which she has bound on self her.
7 The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised.
And he will hear husband her on [the] day hears he and he will keep silent to her and they will stand vows her and obligations her which she has bound on self her they will stand.
8 But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect: the Lord will forgive her.
And if on [the] day hears husband her he will forbid her and he will break vow her which [is] on her and [the] rash utterance of lips her which she has bound on self her and Yahweh he will forgive her.
9 The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfill whatsoever they vow.
And [the] vow of a widow and a divorced [woman] all that she has bound on self her it will stand on her.
10 If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath,
And if [the] house of husband her she has vowed or she bound an obligation on self her by an oath.
11 If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.
And he will hear husband her and he will keep silent to her not he forbade her and they will stand all vows her and every obligation which she has bound on self her it will stand.
12 But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be merciful to her.
And if actually he will break them - husband her on [the] day hears he any utterance of lips her to vows her and to [the] obligation of self her not it will stand husband her he has broken them and Yahweh he will forgive her.
13 If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.
Every vow and every oath of obligation to humble self husband her he will confirm it and husband her he will break it.
14 But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and promised, she shall fulfill: because immediately as he heard it, he held his peace.
And certainly [if] he will keep silent to her husband her from day to day and he will confirm all vows her or all obligations her which [are] on her he has confirmed them for he kept silent to her on [the] day heard he.
15 But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.
And if actually he will break them after has heard he and he will bear guilt her.
16 These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father’s house.
These [are] the statutes which he commanded Yahweh Moses between a man and wife his between a father and daughter his in youth her [the] house of father her.
