1 Then Moses summoned the leaders of the tribes of Israel and told them, “This is what the LORD has commanded: Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, “This is what the LORD has commanded. Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the LORD commands:
2 A man who makes a vow to the LORD or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do. If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 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.
3 “If a young woman makes a vow to the LORD or a pledge under oath while she is still living at her father’s home, “If a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth, “When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge
4 and her father hears of the vow or pledge and does not object to it, then all her vows and pledges will stand. and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. 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.
5 But if her father refuses to let her fulfill the vow or pledge on the day he hears of it, then all her vows and pledges will become invalid. The LORD will forgive her because her father would not let her fulfill them. But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the LORD will forgive her, because her father opposed her. 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.
6 “Now suppose a young woman makes a vow or binds herself with an impulsive pledge and later marries. “If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, “If she marries after she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself
7 If her husband learns of her vow or pledge and does not object on the day he hears of it, her vows and pledges will stand. and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand.
8 But if her husband refuses to accept her vow or impulsive pledge on the day he hears of it, he nullifies her commitments, and the LORD will forgive her. But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the LORD will forgive her. 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.
9 If, however, a woman is a widow or is divorced, she must fulfill all her vows and pledges. (But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) “Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.
10 “But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband’s home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge. And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath
11 If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand. and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. 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.
12 But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the LORD will forgive her. But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the LORD will forgive her. 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.
13 So her husband may either confirm or nullify any vows or pledges she makes to deny herself. Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
14 But if he does not object on the day he hears of it, then he is agreeing to all her vows and pledges. But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. 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.
15 If he waits more than a day and then tries to nullify a vow or pledge, he will be punished for her guilt.” But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.” If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.”
16 These are the regulations the LORD gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter who still lives at home. These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father’s house. 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 at home.
