The Law Concerning Vows
30 Then Moses spoke to (A)the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: 2 (B)If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or (C)swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall (D)do 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 father [a]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.
6 “If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand. 8 But if her husband (E)overrules her on the day that he hears it, he shall make void her vow which she took and what she uttered with her lips, by which she bound herself, and the Lord will release her.
9 “Also any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.
10 “If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath, 11 and her husband heard it, and made no response to her and did not overrule her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself shall stand. 12 But if her husband truly made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it shall not stand; her husband has made them [b]void, and the Lord will release her. 13 Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it, or her husband may make it void. 14 Now if her husband makes no response whatever to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her; he confirms them, because he made no response to her on the day that he heard them. 15 But if he does make them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.”
16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.

Vows
30 [a]Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel:(A) “This is what the Lord commands: 2 When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.(B)
3 “When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge 4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand.(C) 5 But if her father forbids her(D) when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.
6 “If she marries after she makes a vow(E) or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself 7 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 8 But if her husband(F) forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the Lord will release her.(G)
9 “Any vow or obligation taken by a widow or divorced woman will be binding on her.
10 “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath 11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 12 But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand.(H) Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.[b] 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(I) 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.

30 Och Mose sade detta till Israels barn, alldeles såsom HERREN hade bjudit honom. Fjärde Mosebok (Numeri), 30 Kapitlet Lagar om löften.
2 Och Mose talade till Israels barns stamhövdingar och sade: Detta är vad HERREN har bjudit:
3 om någon gör ett löfte åt HERREN, eller svär en ed genom vilken han förbinder sig till återhållsamhet i något stycke, så skall han icke sedan bryta sitt ord; han skall i alla stycken göra vad hans mun har talat.
4 Och om en kvinna, medan hon vistas i sin faders hus och ännu är ung, gör ett löfte åt HERREN och förbinder sig till återhållsamhet i något stycke,
5 och hennes fader hör hennes löfte och huru hon förbinder sig till återhållsamhet, och hennes fader icke säger något till henne därom, så skola alla hennes löften hava gällande kraft, och alla hennes förbindelser till återhållsamhet skola hava gällande kraft.
6 Men om hennes fader samma dag han hör det säger nej därtill, då skola hennes löften och hennes förbindelser till återhållsamhet alla vara utan gällande kraft; och HERREN skall förlåta henne, eftersom hennes fader sade nej till henne.
7 Och om hon bliver gift, och löften då vila på henne, eller något obetänksamt ord från hennes läppar, varmed hon har bundit sig,
8 och hennes man får höra därom, men icke säger något till henne därom samma dag han hör det, så skola hennes löften hava gällande kraft, och hennes förbindelser till återhållsamhet skola hava gällande kraft.
9 Men om hennes man samma dag han får höra det säger nej därtill, då upphäver han därmed hennes givna löfte och det obetänksamma ord från hennes läppar, varmed hon har bundit sig; och HERREN skall förlåta henne det.
10 Men en änkas eller en förskjuten hustrus löfte skall hava gällande kraft för henne, vartill hon än må hava förbundit sig.
11 Och om en kvinna i sin mans hus gör ett löfte, eller med ed förbinder sig till återhållsamhet i något stycke,
12 och hennes man hör det, men icke säger något till henne därom -- icke säger nej till henne -- så skola alla hennes löften hava gällande kraft, och alla hennes förbindelser till återhållsamhet skola hava gällande kraft.
13 Men om hennes man upphäver dem samma dag han hör dem, då skall allt som hennes läppar hava talat vara utan gällande kraft, det må nu vara löften eller någon förbindelse till återhållsamhet; hennes man har upphävt dem, därför skall HERREN förlåta henne.
14 Åt alla hennes löften och åt alla hennes edliga förbindelser till att späka sig kan hennes man giva gällande kraft, och hennes man kan ock upphäva dem.
15 Men om hennes man icke före påföljande dags ingång säger någonting till henne därom, så giver han gällande kraft åt alla hennes löften och åt alla de förbindelser till återhållsamhet, som vila på henne; han giver dem gällande kraft därigenom att han icke säger något till henne därom samma dag han hör dem.
16 Men om han upphäver dem först någon tid efter det han har hört dem, då kommer han att bära på hennes missgärning.
17 Dessa äro de stadgar som HERREN av Mose angående förhållandet mellan en man och hans hustru, och angående förhållandet mellan en fader och hans dotter, medan denna ännu är ung och vistas i sin faders hus.
