And Moses spake
unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
children of Israel, saying, This is the thing
which the Lord hath commanded.
02 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.
03 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;
04 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.
05 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.
06 And if she had at all an husband, when
she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul;
07 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.
08 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.

09 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.
