Numbers 30:14-16
New English Translation
14 But if her husband remains completely silent[a] about her from day to day, he thus confirms all her vows or all her obligations which she is under; he confirms them because he remained silent about her when he heard them. 15 But if he should nullify them after he has heard them, then he will bear her iniquity.”[b]
16 These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses, relating to[c] a man and his wife, and a father and his young daughter who is still living in her father’s house.

Numbers 30:14-16
New International Version
14 But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15 If, however, he nullifies them(A) some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.”
16 These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home.
