And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the

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

7 But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, which she has contracted upon her soul;

9 But if her husband should straitly forbid in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
