Numbers 30:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:14

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day
today
Said not one word to her day after day, neither on the day he heard her vow, nor the day following:

then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon
her;
by his silence:

he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her, in the day that
he heard them;
for not to contradict them was to confirm them.

Numbers 30:14 In-Context

12 But if her husband makes them null and void on the day he hears them, then whatever she said, vows or binding obligation, will not stand; her husband has voided them; and ADONAI will forgive her.
13 Her husband may let every vow and every binding obligation stand, or he may void it.
14 But if her husband entirely holds his peace with her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and obligations; he must let them stand, because he held his peace with her on the day he heard them.
15 If he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he will bear the consequent guilt."
16 These are the laws which ADONAI ordered Moshe between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, if she is a minor living in her father's house.
