Numbers 30:12 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:12

But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he
heard them
Declaring they were contrary to his mind and will, he disapproved of them, and forbid the carrying them into execution:

then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand;
though her husband be dead, or she be divorced from him:

her husband hath made them void, and the Lord shall forgive her:
she will neither incur his displeasure for not fulfilling her vow, nor have any punishment inflicted on her: the Targum of Jonathan is,

``if her husband makes them void, and she knows it not and transgresses, it shall be forgiven her by the Lord.''

Numbers 30:12 In-Context

10 “But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband’s home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge.

11 If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand.

12 But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the LORD will forgive her.

13 So her husband may either confirm or nullify any vows or pledges she makes to deny herself.

14 But if he does not object on the day he hears of it, then he is agreeing to all her vows and pledges.
