Numbers 30:2

The Law Concerning Vows

1 Then Moses spoke to ^athe heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:

2 ^aIf a man makes a vow to the Lord, or ^bswears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall ^cdo according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 “Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,

4 and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she has bound herself, and her father¹ holds his peace, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound herself shall stand.

5 But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will release her, because her father overruled her.
