The Law of Vows |
|
|
 |
| Numbers 30:1 |
|
Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes
of the sons of Israel, saying, "This is the word which the LORD has commanded. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:2 |
|
If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an
oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word;
he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 30:3 |
|
"Also if a woman makes a vow to the LORD, and
binds herself by an obligation in her father's house in her youth, |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 30:4 |
|
and her father hears her vow and her obligation
by which she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her
vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 30:5 |
|
But if her father should forbid her on the day
he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself
shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her because her father had forbidden her. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 30:6 |
|
"However, if she should marry while under her
vows or the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself, |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 30:7 |
|
and her husband hears of it and says nothing
to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her obligations by
which she has bound herself shall stand. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:8 |
|
But if on the day her husband hears of it, he
forbids her, then he shall annul her vow which she is under and the rash statement
of her lips by which she has bound herself; and the LORD will forgive her. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:9 |
|
"But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman,
everything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:10 |
|
However, if she vowed in her husband's house,
or bound herself by an obligation with an oath, |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:11 |
|
and her husband heard it, but said nothing to
her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation
by which she bound herself shall stand. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:12 |
|
But if her husband indeed annuls them on the
day he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows
or concerning the obligation of herself shall not stand; her husband has annulled
them, and the LORD will forgive her. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:13 |
|
"Every vow and every binding oath to humble
herself, her husband may confirm it or her husband may annul it. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:14 |
|
But if her husband indeed says nothing to her
from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her obligations which are
on her; he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard
them. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:15 |
|
But if he indeed annuls them after he has heard
them, then he shall bear her guilt." |
|
|
|
| Numbers 30:16 |
|
These are the statutes which the LORD commanded
Moses, as between a man and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter,
while she is in her youth in her father's house. |
