Numbers 30:6-16

Bible Text

[6] If she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, [7] and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. [8] But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her. [9] But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her. [10] If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, [11] and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. [12] But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her. [13] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. [14] But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. [15] But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. [16] These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.
