| 1 Later, Moses told the elders of the Israeli tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded: | 1Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded: |
| 2When a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath—an obligation that is binding to himself—he is not to break his word. Instead, he is to fulfill whatever promise came out of his mouth.'" | 2If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised. |
| 3"When a young woman makes a vow to the LORD or pledges herself to an obligation while she still lives in her father's house, | 3And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge, |
| 4and her father hears her vow and the obligations that she had pledged herself to fulfill, yet her father keeps silent about it, then all her vows and every obligation she pledged herself to are to stand. | 4and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. |
| 5But if her father disallows her on the same day that he hears what she has said, then all her vows and every obligation she had pledged herself to fulfill are not to stand. The LORD will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her." | 5But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her. |
| 6"If she has a husband and she makes a vow that is binding on herself, or if she makes a hasty vow with her mouth that she pledges herself to fulfill, | 6If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself, |
| 7and her husband hears her vow, yet remains silent on the day that he hears it, then her vows are to stand and the obligation to which she had pledged herself is to stand. | 7and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. |
| 8But if, on the same day her husband hears and disallows her, then he has revoked her vows that she made for herself, along with any hasty vows that she spoke and to which she pledged herself to fulfill. The LORD will forgive her." | 8But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her. |
| 9"Everything that a widow or a divorced woman pledges herself to fulfill are to be binding on her. | 9Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her. |
| 10If, while she had been living in her late or former husband's house, she makes a vow or a promise that binds her with an oath, | 10If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath, |
| 11and her husband hears it but remains silent, not disallowing it, then all her vows are to stand, along with every obligation that she has pledged to fulfill. | 11and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. |
| 12But if her husband disallowed them the very day that he heard her, everything that she spoke relating to her vows and her obligation to herself are not to stand, because her husband revoked them. The LORD will forgive her. | 12But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her. |
| 13Her husband may confirm or revoke every vow and binding obligation that afflicts her. | 13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself. |
| 14But if her husband remains silent about her from day to day, then he has affirmed all her vows or obligations that she has obligated herself to fulfill. He has affirmed them because he remained silent from the day he heard her vows. | 14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them. |
| 15But if he nullified them after he had heard, then he will be responsible for any resulting iniquity." | 15But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.” |
| 16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning a man and his wife and concerning a father and his young daughter while she still lives in her father's house. | 16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home. |
