The Fourth Book of Moses: Called Numbers, 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.
