Numeri 30:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:9

But every vow of a widow
The Scripture speaks, as Jarchi says, of a widow from marriage, or that has been married, but a widow from espousals (or that has been only espoused), the husband dead, the power is transmitted, and returns to the father; and with respect to such a case, it is said in the Misnah F25

``if the father (of such a betrothed person) dies, the power is not transmitted to the husband; but if the husband dies, the power is transmitted to the father; in this case, greater is the power of a father than of an husband; in others, greater is the power of an husband than of a father, because an husband makes void (the vow of) one at age, but a father does not make void (the vow of) such an one:''

and of her that is divorced:
from her husband on some account or another; now in each of these cases, the one being loosed from the law of her husband by death, and the other by a bill of divorce, if they vowed,

the vows wherewith they have bound their souls shall stand against her;
against either of them, they having none over them to disapprove of, contradict, and make void their vows.

Numeri 30:9 In-Context

7 e il suo marito l’intende, e nel giorno stesso che l’avrà inteso, non ne le fa motto; i voti di essa, e le sue obbligazioni, con le quali si sarà obbligata sopra l’anima sua, saranno ferme.
8 Ma, se nel giorno stesso che il suo marito l’avrà inteso, egli la disdice, egli annulla il suo voto ch’ella avea sopra sè, e la promessa fatta con le sue labbra, con la quale ella si era obbligata sopra l’anima sua; e il Signore le perdonerà.
9 Ma, quant’è al voto della vedova, o della ripudiata, tutto ciò a che si sarà obbligata sopra l’anima sua, sarà fermo contro a lei.
10 E se la donna fa voto, ovvero si obbliga per obbligazione sopra l’anima sua, con giuramento, essendo in casa del suo marito;
11 e il suo marito l’intende, e non ne le fa motto, e non la disdice, sieno fermi tutti i suoi voti; sia parimente ferma ogni obbligazione, con la quale ella si sarà obbligata sopra l’anima sua.
