Numbers 30
|
And Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord. | And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded. |
When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do. | When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. |
If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking; | Also when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, |
If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force. | and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. |
But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father. | But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her. |
And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought; | And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, |
If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force. | and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. |
But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness. | But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her. |
But an oath made by a widow or one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has given, will have force. | But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] everything wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. |
If she made an oath while she was under the authority of her husband, | And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, |
And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force. | and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. |
But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness. | But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and Jehovah will forgive her. |
Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband. | Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. |
But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her. | But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. |
But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing. | But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. |
These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority. | These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house. |
