* And Moses spoke unto the princes of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel , saying , This [is ] the thing which the LORD has commanded . * When a man vows a vow unto the LORD or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond , he shall not defile his word : he shall do according to all that proceeded out of his mouth . * But the woman , when she shall vow a vow unto the LORD and bind herself by a bond , [being ] in her father 's house in her youth , * and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound her soul , and her father shall remain silent regarding it , then all her promises shall stand , and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand . * But if her father disallows her in the day that he hears all of her vows and of her bonds with which she has bound her soul , they shall not stand , and the LORD shall forgive her , because her father disallowed her . * But if she had at all a husband when she vowed or pronounced anything out of her lips , with which she bound her soul , * if her husband heard [it ] and remained silent regarding it in the day that he heard [it ], then her vows shall stand , and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand . * But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it , then her vow which she vowed and that which she pronounced with her lips , with which she bound her soul , shall be of no effect , and the LORD shall forgive her . * But every vow of a widow and of her that is divorced , with which they have bound their souls , shall stand . * And if she vowed in her husband 's house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath ; * if her husband heard [it ] and remained silent regarding it [and ] did not disallow her , then all her vows shall stand , and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand . * But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day he heard [them ], [then ] whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul , shall not stand ; her husband has made them void , and the LORD shall forgive her . * Every vow and every binding oath to afflict the soul , her husband may establish it , or her husband may make it void . * But if her husband remained silent regarding this from day to day ; then he establishes all her vows or all her bonds , which [are ] upon her ; he confirms them because he remained silent regarding this in the day that he heard [them ]. * But if he shall in any way make them void after that he has heard [them ], then he shall bear her iniquity . * These [are ] the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses between a man and his wife [and ] between the father and his daughter , [being yet ] in her youth in her father 's house .:
