Numbers 30:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:7

And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the
day that he heard it
The vow she made, and by his silence consented to it:

then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul
shall stand;
or she be under obligation to perform them.

Numbers 30:7 In-Context

5 But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself, shall stand; and the LORD will forgive her, because her father opposed her.
6 And if she is married to a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,
7 and her husband hears of it, and says nothing to her on the day that he hears; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
8 But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he expresses disapproval, then he shall make void her vow which was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips, by which she bound herself; and the LORD will forgive her.
9 But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.
