King James VersionNumbers30

Numbers

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.
