Numbers 30:2 In-Context
1
Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the LORD commands:
2
When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
3
“When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge
4
and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand.
5
But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the LORD will release her because her father has forbidden her.
