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. |
