New International VersionInternational Standard Version
1Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: "This is what the LORD commands:1 Later, Moses told the elders of the Israeli tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded:
2When 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.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"When a young woman still living in her father's household makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge3"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,
4and 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.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.
5But 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.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"If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself6"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,
7and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand.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.
8But 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.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"Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.9"Everything that a widow or a divorced woman pledges herself to fulfill are to be binding on her.
10"If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath10If, 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,
11and 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.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.
12But 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.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.
13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.13Her husband may confirm or revoke every vow and binding obligation that afflicts her.
14But 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.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.
15If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing."15But if he nullified them after he had heard, then he will be responsible for any resulting iniquity."
16These 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 at home.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.
