11. If her husband hears about the promise and lets her keep her promise, she must do exactly what she promised. She must give everything she promised.
12. But if her husband hears about the promise and refuses to let her keep the promise, she does not have to do what she promised. It doesn’t matter what she promised to do; if her husband is against it, this ends her duty to do it. And the Lord will forgive her.
13. A married woman might promise to give something to the Lord, or she might promise to do without something, or she might make some other special promise to God. The husband can stop any of these promises, and the husband can let her keep any of these promises.
14. How does the husband let his wife keep her promises? If he hears about the promises and does not stop them, the woman must do exactly what she promised.
