Numbers 30:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.

¹⁵ But if the husband hearing it hold his peace, and defer the declaring his mind till another day: whatsoever she had vowed and promised, she shall fulfill: because immediately as he heard it, he held his peace.

¹⁶ But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.
