* And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel , saying , This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded : * If a man vows a vow unto Jehovah , or swears an oath to bind his soul to a bond , he shall not break his word ; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth . * If a woman vows a vow unto Jehovah , and has bound her soul to a bond while in her father ’s house in her youth , * and her father has heard her vow and the bond by which she has bound her soul , and her father has remained silent , then all her vows shall stand , and every bond to which she has bound her soul shall stand . * But if her father has disallowed her on the day that he hears , then none of her vows nor her bonds by which she has bound her soul shall stand ; and Jehovah will forgive her , because her father has disallowed her . * And if she belongs to a husband , when she has bound her soul with a vow or rash utterance of her lips , * and her husband has heard , and has kept silent to her on the day that he hears , then her vows have been confirmed , and her bonds by which she bound her soul shall stand . * But if her husband disallows her on the day that he hears it , he has made void her vow which she uttered with her lips , with which she bound her soul ; and Jehovah will forgive her . * But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman , by which she has bound her soul , shall be confirmed against her . * If she has vowed in her husband ’s house , or bound her soul by a bond with an oath , * and her husband has heard it , and kept silent to her and has not disallowed her , then all her vows shall stand , and every bond by which she has bound her soul has been confirmed . * But if her husband disallows , to void them on the day he hears them , then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul shall not stand ; her husband has made them void ; and Jehovah will forgive her . * Every vow and every binding oath to humble her soul , her husband may confirm it , or her husband may make it void . * But if her husband is silent and says nothing to her from day to day , then he has confirmed all her vows or all the bonds that are upon her ; he has confirmed them , because he has remained silent to her on the day that he heard them . * And if he does disallow , to make them void after he has heard them , then he has taken on her guilt . * These are the statutes which Jehovah has commanded Moses , between a man and his wife , and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father ’s house .
