Numbers 30:5-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.
