New Testament

Numbers 30:8-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

8. “But if her husband forbids her on the day that he hears it, then he has nullified her vow which she vowed, and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and יהוה pardons her.

9. “But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, stands against her.

10. “And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath,

11. and her husband heard it, and has kept silent towards her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself stands.

12. “But if her husband clearly nullified them on the day he heard them, then whatever came from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it does not stand – her husband has nullified them, and יהוה pardons her.

13. “Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her being, let her husband confirm it, or let her husband nullify it.

14. “But if her husband is altogether silent at her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her – he confirms them, because he kept silent towards her on the day that he heard.

15. “But if he nullifies them after he has heard, then he shall bear her crookedness.”

16. These are the laws which יהוה commanded Mosheh, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.
