| Chapter 30 |
1 |
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded. -
|
2 |
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. -
|
3 |
If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth; -
|
4 |
And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. -
|
5 |
But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. -
|
6 |
And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; -
|
7 |
And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. -
|
8 |
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. -
|
9 |
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. -
|
10 |
And 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] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. -
|
12 |
But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall 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 establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them]. -
|
15 |
But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity. -
|
16 |
These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house. -
