Numbers 30

¹And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord.

²When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

³If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;

⁴If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

⁵But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

⁶And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

⁷If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

⁸But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

⁹But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force.

¹⁰If she made an oath while she was under the authority of her husband,

¹¹And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.
