| 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. |
