Numbers 30 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Law of Vows

[fn]Then Moses^H4872 spoke^H1696 to the heads^H7218 of the tribes^H4294 of the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559, “This^H2088 is the word^H1697 which^H834 the LORD^H3068 has commanded^H6680:

Num 30:2

Num 30:2“If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to [fn]put himself under a binding obligation, he shall not break his word; he shall act in accordance with everything that comes out of his mouth.

Num 30:3

“And if^H3588 a woman^H802 makes^H5087 a vow^H5088 to the LORD^H3068, and puts^H631 herself under^H631 a binding^H632 obligation^H632 in her father’s^H1 house^H1004 in her youth^H5271,

Num 30:4

Num 30:4and her father hears her vow and her obligation under which she has put herself, and her father [fn]says nothing to her, then all her vows shall [fn]remain valid and every binding obligation under which she has put herself shall [fn]remain valid.

Num 30:5

Num 30:5“But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid; and the LORD will [fn]forgive her because her father has expressed disapproval to her.

Num 30:6

“However, if^H518 she happens^H1961 to [fn]marry^H1961^H376 while [fn]under^H5921 her vows^H5088 or^H176 the impulsive^H4008 statement^H4008 of her lips^H8193 by which^H834 she has obligated^H631 herself^H5315,

Num 30:7

Num 30:7and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall remain valid and her binding obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid.

Num 30:8

Num 30:8“But if on the day her husband hears of it, he expresses disapproval to her, then he will annul her vow which [fn]she is under and the impulsive statement of her lips by which she has obligated herself; and the LORD will [fn]forgive her.

Num 30:9

“But as for the vow^H5088 of a widow^H490 or of a divorced^H1644 woman, every^H3605 binding^H631 obligation^H631 under^H631 which^H834 she has put^H631 herself^H5315, shall remain^H6965 valid^H6965 against^H5921 her.

Num 30:10

Num 30:10“However, if a married woman vowed in her husband’s house, or put herself under a binding obligation with an oath,

Num 30:11

Num 30:11and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not express disapproval to her, then all her vows shall remain valid and every binding obligation under which she put herself shall remain valid.

Num 30:12

Num 30:12“But if her husband actually annuls them on the day he hears them, then no utterance from her lips concerning her vows or the obligation she put on herself shall remain valid; her husband has annulled them, and the LORD will [fn]forgive her.

Num 30:13

“Every^H3605 vow^H5088 and every^H3605 binding^H632 oath^H7621 to humble^H6031 herself^H5315, her husband^H376 may confirm^H6965 it or her husband^H376 may annul^H6565 it.

Num 30:14

Num 30:14“But if her husband in fact says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her binding obligations which are on her; he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.

Num 30:15

Num 30:15“However, if he actually annuls them [fn]after he has heard them, then he shall bear the responsibility for her guilt.”

Num 30:16

These^H428 are the statutes^H2706 which^H834 the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680 Moses^H4872 concerning matters between^H996 a man^H376 and his wife^H802, and between^H996 a father^H1 and his daughter^H1323 while she is in her youth^H5271 in her father’s^H1 house^H1004.
