Numbers 30

¹And Moses told the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him:

²And he said to the princes of the tribes of the children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:

³If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfill all that he promised.

⁴If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father’s house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:

⁵Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfill in deed.

⁶But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.

⁷If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:

⁸The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised.

⁹But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect: the Lord will forgive her.

¹⁰The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfill whatsoever they vow.

¹¹If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath,

¹²If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.
