New Testament

Numbers 30:9-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. “A widow or divorced woman might make a promise. She must do whatever she promised.

10. “A woman might make a promise or pledge while she was married.

11. When her husband hears about it, he might say nothing. He might not stop her. Then she must keep her promise or pledge.

12. But when her husband hears about it, he might cancel it. Then she does not have to do what she said. Her husband has canceled it. The Lord will free her from it.

13. A woman’s husband may make her keep or cancel any promise or pledge she has made.

14. But her husband might say nothing to her about it for several days. Then she must keep her promises. If he hears about them and says nothing, she must keep her promises.

15. But he might cancel them long after he heard about them. Then he is responsible if she breaks her promise.”

16. These are commands that the Lord gave to Moses. They are for husbands and wives. And they are for fathers with daughters living at home.
