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 cancels them when he hears about them, then none of the vows and pledges that she made are binding. Her husband has canceled them and God will release her.

13 Any vow and pledge that she makes that may be to her detriment can be either affirmed or annulled by her husband.

14 But if her husband is silent and doesn't speak up day after day, he confirms her vows and pledges - she has to make good on them. By saying nothing to her when he hears of them, he binds her to them.

15 If, however, he cancels them sometime after he hears of them, he takes her guilt on himself."

16 These are the rules that God gave Moses regarding conduct between a man and his wife and between a father and his young daughter who is still living at home.
