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. |
