| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1 Later, Moses told the elders of the Israeli tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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.'" |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Everything that a widow or a divorced woman pledges herself to fulfill are to be binding on her. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Her husband may confirm or revoke every vow and binding obligation that afflicts her. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But if he nullified them after he had heard, then he will be responsible for any resulting iniquity." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
