Números 30:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:13

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul
By fasting, as Aben Ezra observes; as when a vow was made, or a person bound herself by an oath to abstain from such and such food, or to fast on such a day; to keep a fast which was not appointed, to set apart a day for fasting, besides the grand and general fast on the day of atonement: Jarchi from hence gathers, that a man only makes vows of afflicting the soul, or vows of fasting; but this is not said by way of limitation and restriction, but by way of amplification and illustration, giving a particular instance, by which others may be judged of:

her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void,
just as he pleased; and this power an husband had, to prevent confusion in the family, and trouble in the affairs of it, by vowing abstinence from such and such food, or from such and such liquor, and the like; and to prevent running into expenses he was not able to answer, by vowing and dedicating, this and the other to holy uses, for sacrifices, and repairs of the temple, and the like.

Números 30:13 In-Context

11 si su esposo se entera, pero se queda callado y no lo desaprueba, entonces ella estará obligada a cumplir todos sus votos y promesas.

12 Pero si su esposo se entera y los anula, entonces ninguno de los votos o promesas que haya hecho le serán obligatorios, pues su esposo los anuló. El SEÑOR la absolverá.

13 »El esposo tiene la autoridad de confirmar o de anular cualquier voto o juramento de abstinencia que ella haya hecho.

14 En cambio, si los días pasan y el esposo se queda callado, su silencio confirmará todos los votos y compromisos contraídos por ella. El esposo los confirmará por no haber dicho nada cuando se enteró.

15 Pero si llega a anularlos después de un tiempo de haberse enterado, entonces él cargará con la culpa de su esposa».
