Numbers 30:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:7

And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the
day that he heard it
The vow she made, and by his silence consented to it:

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

Numbers 30:7 In-Context

5 But if her father expresses disapproval to her at the time that he hears of it, no vow of hers, and no pledge by which she has bound herself, shall stand; and the Lord will forgive her, because her father had expressed to her his disapproval.
6 If she marries, while obligated by her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,
7 and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her at the time that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
8 But if, at the time that her husband hears of it, he expresses disapproval to her, then he shall nullify the vow by which she was obligated, or the thoughtless utterance of her lips, by which she bound herself; and the Lord will forgive her.
9 (But every vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, shall be binding upon her.)
