Numbers 30:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:11

And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and
disallowed her not
Heard her make her vow, and bind it with an oath, and was silent at it, which was consenting to it, and did not contradict her, nor show any displeasure or resentment at her on account of it; the Targum of Jonathan adds,

``and died before she was at age;''

but what follows held good equally of one that was at age for marriage, and actually married to him:

then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand;
be ratified and confirmed, and she be under obligation to make them good.

Numbers 30:11 In-Context

9 Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.

10 If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,

11 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.

12 But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
