1. Moses then gave the Israelites these instructions, just as the LORD had ordered him.
|
1. And Moses H4872 spoke H1696 unto H413 the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294 concerning the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , This H2088 is the thing H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath commanded H6680 .
|
|
2. Moses said to the heads of the Israelite tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded:
|
2. If H3588 a man H376 vow H5087 a vow H5088 unto the LORD H3068 , or H176 swear H7650 an oath H7621 to bind H631 H5921 his soul H5315 with a bond H632 ; he shall not H3808 break H2490 his word H1697 , he shall do H6213 according to all H3605 that proceedeth out H3318 of his mouth H4480 H6310 .
|
|
3. When a man makes a vow to the LORD or binds himself under oath to a pledge of abstinence, he shall not violate his word, but must fulfill exactly the promise he has uttered.
|
3. If H3588 a woman H802 also vow H5087 a vow H5088 unto the LORD H3068 , and bind H631 herself by a bond H632 , being in her father H1 's house H1004 in her youth H5271 ;
|
|
4. "When a woman, while still a maiden in her father's house, makes a vow to the LORD, or binds herself to a pledge,
|
4. And her father H1 hear H8085 H853 her vow H5088 , and her bond H632 wherewith H834 she hath bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 , and her father H1 shall hold his peace H2790 at her : then all H3605 her vows H5088 shall stand H6965 , and every H3605 bond H632 wherewith H834 she hath bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 shall stand H6965 .
|
|
5. if her father learns of her vow or the pledge to which she bound herself and says nothing to her about it, then any vow or any pledge she has made remains valid.
|
5. But if H518 her father H1 disallow H5106 her in the day H3117 that he heareth H8085 ; not H3808 any H3605 of her vows H5088 , or of her bonds H632 wherewith H834 she hath bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 , shall stand H6965 : and the LORD H3068 shall forgive H5545 her, because H3588 her father H1 disallowed H5106 her.
|
|
6. But if on the day he learns of it her father expresses to her his disapproval, then any vow or any pledge she has made becomes null and void; and the LORD releases her from it, since her father has expressed to her his disapproval.
|
6. And if H518 she had at all H1961 H1961 a husband H376 , when she vowed H5088 H5921 , or H176 uttered H4008 aught out of her lips H8193 , wherewith H834 she bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 ;
|
|
7. "If she marries while under a vow or under a rash pledge to which she bound herself,
|
7. And her husband H376 heard H8085 it, and held his peace H2790 at her in the day H3117 that he heard H8085 it : then her vows H5088 shall stand H6965 , and her bonds H632 wherewith H834 she bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 shall stand H6965 .
|
|
8. and her husband learns of it, yet says nothing to her that day about it, then the vow or pledge she had made remains valid.
|
8. But if H518 her husband H376 disallowed H5106 her on the day H3117 that he heard H8085 it ; then he shall make H853 her vow H5088 which she vowed H834 H5921 , and that which she uttered H4008 with her lips H8193 , wherewith H834 she bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 , of none effect H6565 : and the LORD H3068 shall forgive H5545 her.
|
|
9. But if on the day he learns of it her husband expresses to her his disapproval, he thereby annuls the vow she had made or the rash pledge to which she had bound herself, and the LORD releases her from it.
|
9. But every H3605 vow H5088 of a widow H490 , and of her that is divorced H1644 , wherewith H834 they have bound H631 H5921 their souls H5315 , shall stand H6965 against H5921 her.
|
|
10. The vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, or any pledge to which such a woman binds herself, is valid.
|
10. And if H518 she vowed H5087 in her husband H376 's house H1004 , or H176 bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 by a bond H632 with an oath H7621 ;
|
|
11. "If it is in her husband's house that she makes a vow or binds herself under oath to a pledge,
|
11. And her husband H376 heard H8085 it , and held his peace H2790 at her, and disallowed H5106 her not H3808 : then all H3605 her vows H5088 shall stand H6965 , and every H3605 bond H632 wherewith H834 she bound H631 H5921 her soul H5315 shall stand H6965 .
|
|
12. and her husband learns of it yet says nothing to express to her his disapproval, then any vow or any pledge she has made remains valid.
|
12. But if H518 her husband H376 hath utterly made them void H6565 H6565 H853 on the day H3117 he heard H8085 them; then whatsoever H3605 proceeded out H4161 of her lips H8193 concerning her vows H5088 , or concerning the bond H632 of her soul H5315 , shall not H3808 stand H6965 : her husband H376 hath made them void H6565 ; and the LORD H3068 shall forgive H5545 her.
|
|
13. But if on the day he learns of them her husband annuls them, then whatever she has expressly promised in her vow or in her pledge becomes null and void; since her husband has annulled them, the LORD releases her from them.
|
13. Every H3605 vow H5088 , and every H3605 binding H632 oath H7621 to afflict H6031 the soul H5315 , her husband H376 may establish H6965 it , or her husband H376 may make it void H6565 .
|
|
14. "Any vow or any pledge that she makes under oath to mortify herself, her husband can either allow to remain valid or render null and void.
|
14. But if H518 her husband H376 altogether hold his peace H2790 H2790 at her from day H4480 H3117 to H413 day H3117 ; then he establisheth H6965 H853 all H3605 her vows H5088 , or H176 H853 all H3605 her bonds H632 , which H834 are upon H5921 her : he confirmeth H6965 them, because H3588 he held his peace H2790 at her in the day H3117 that he heard H8085 them .
|
|
15. But if her husband, day after day, says nothing at all to her about them, he thereby allows as valid any vow or any pledge she has made; he has allowed them to remain valid, because on the day he learned of them he said nothing to her about them.
|
15. But if H518 he shall any ways make them void H6565 H6565 H853 after that H310 he hath heard H8085 them ; then he shall bear H5375 H853 her iniquity H5771 .
|
|
16. If, however, he countermands them some time after he first learned of them, he is responsible for her guilt."
|
16. These H428 are the statutes H2706 , which H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 , between H996 a man H376 and his wife H802 , between H996 the father H1 and his daughter H1323 , being yet in her youth H5271 in her father H1 's house H1004 .
|
|
17. These are the statutes which the LORD prescribed through Moses concerning the relationship between a husband and his wife, as well as between a father and his daughter while she is still a maiden in her father's house.
