Numbers 30:14

14 If he says nothing to her about it day after day, this means he's decided that she must keep her vow or oath. She must keep it because he said nothing to her when he heard about it.

Numbers 30:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:14

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day
today
Said not one word to her day after day, neither on the day he heard her vow, nor the day following:

then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon
her;
by his silence:

he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her, in the day that
he heard them;
for not to contradict them was to confirm them.

Numbers 30:14 In-Context

12 But if her husband cancels it when he hears about it, nothing she said in her vow or oath has to be kept. Her husband has canceled it, and the LORD will free her [from this vow or oath].
13 "A husband decides whether or not his wife has to keep any vow to do something or any oath to do without something.
14 If he says nothing to her about it day after day, this means he's decided that she must keep her vow or oath. She must keep it because he said nothing to her when he heard about it.
15 But if he cancels it later, he will suffer the consequences."
16 These are the laws the LORD gave Moses for husbands and wives, and for fathers with young daughters still living at home.
