Numbers 30:10

10 If a woman makes a solemn promise in her husband's household or makes a binding obligation for herself with a solemn pledge,

Numbers 30:10 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:10

And if she vowed in her husband's house
Before his death, in his lifetime, or before divorced: the Targum of Jonathan adds, by way of explanation, "and not at age for marriage", understanding it of a betrothed, and not a married person; but Jarchi says, the Scripture speaks of a married one, which seems most likely:

or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
to fulfil her vow, to abstain from this, or to do that or the other thing.

Numbers 30:10 In-Context

8 But if on the day that her husband hears it he expresses disapproval to her, he can break her solemn promise and the statement by which she bound herself. Then the LORD will forgive her.
9 Every solemn promise of a widow or a divorced woman who makes a binding obligation for herself will stand.
10 If a woman makes a solemn promise in her husband's household or makes a binding obligation for herself with a solemn pledge,
11 and her husband hears, keeps silent, and doesn't express disapproval to her—then all her solemn promises will stand and all her binding obligations for herself will stand.
12 If her husband breaks them on the day he hears them, then whatever she said with regard to her solemn promises or the binding obligations for herself will not stand. Her husband has broken them. The LORD will forgive her.
