Mínshùjì 30:16 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:16

These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses between
a man and his wife
Relating to vows made by the wife, and confirmed or disannulled by the husband: Aben Ezra adds, if she is at age or in puberty, understanding it of a married and not a betrothed wife:

between the father and his daughter;
if she is not at age, as the same writer observes; for if she is at age he has nothing to do with her vows:

[being yet] in her youth;
not at age, being not twelve years and one day old:

in her father's house;
in his power and jurisdiction, and at his disposal, and so could make her vows void or firm, as he pleased: this power of ratifying or disannulling vows an husband had over his wife, and a father over his daughter, to prevent imprudent and extravagant vows, and the too frequent use of them, the consequences of which might be bad in families.
