chapter 30
1
And
Moses told the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him :
2 And he said to the princes of the tribes of the
children of Israel: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded:
3 If any man make a vow to the Lord, or bind himself by
an oath: he shall not make his word void but shall fulfil all that he promised.
4 If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an
oath, being in her father's house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father
knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow:
5 Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfil
in deed.
6 But if her father, immediately as soon as he heard
it, gainsaid it, both her vows and her oaths shall be void, neither shall she
be bound to what she promised, because her father hath gainsaid it.
7 If she have a husband, and shall vow any thing, and
the word once going out of her mouth shall bind her soul by an oath:
8 The day that her husband shall hear it, and not
gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she
promised.
9 But if as soon as he heareth he gainsay it, and make
her promises and the words wherewith she had bound her soul of no effect : the
Lord will forgive her.
10 The widow, and she that is divorced, shall fulfil
whatsoever they vow.
11 If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound
herself by vow and by oath,
12 If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth
not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.
13 But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be
bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be
merciful to her.
14 If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her
soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will
of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.
15 But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and
defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and
promised, she shall fulfil: because immediately as he heard it, he held his
peace.
16 But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall
bear her iniquity.
17 These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses
between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is
as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father's house.
