30:1 Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the LORD commands:
30:2 When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
30:3 “When a young woman still living in her father’s house makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge
30:4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand.
30:5 But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the LORD will release her because her father has forbidden her.
30:6 “If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself
30:7 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand.
30:8 But if her husband forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the LORD will release her.
30:9 “Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.
30:10 “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath
30:11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand.
30:12 But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will release her.
30:13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
30:14 But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them.
30:15 If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he is responsible for her guilt.”
30:16 These are the regulations the LORD gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living in his house.
30:1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah has commanded:
30:2 When a man vows a vow to Jehovah or swears an oath to bind himself by pledge, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
30:3 But when a woman vows a vow to Jehovah or binds herself by pledge in her father’s house in her youth,
30:4 And her father hears of her vow or her pledge by which she has bound herself, and her father is silent with respect to her; then all her vows will stand, and any pledge by which she has bound herself will stand.
30:5 But if her father disallows her on the day he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges by which she has bound herself will stand; and Jehovah will forgive her because her father disallowed her.
30:6 And if she gets married, while her vows are upon her or the rash utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,
30:7 And her husband hears of it and is silent with respect to her on the day he hears it, then her vows will stand and her pledges by which she has bound herself will stand.
30:8 But if, on the day her husband hears of it, he disallows her, then he makes void her vow which is upon her and the rash utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself; and Jehovah will forgive her.
30:9 But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself, will stand against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,
30:11 And her husband heard of it and was silent with respect to her and did not disallow her, then all her vows will stand and any pledge by which she has bound herself will stand.
30:12 But if her husband made them null and void on the day he heard of it, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the pledging of herself will not stand; her husband has made them void, and Jehovah will forgive her.
30:13 As for every vow and every binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish it or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband is completely silent with respect to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are upon her; he has established them because he was silent with respect to her on the day he heard it.
30:15 But if he makes them null and void some time after he has heard of it, then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These are the statutes which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter while in her youth in her father’s house.
