Números 30:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 30:13

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul
By fasting, as Aben Ezra observes; as when a vow was made, or a person bound herself by an oath to abstain from such and such food, or to fast on such a day; to keep a fast which was not appointed, to set apart a day for fasting, besides the grand and general fast on the day of atonement: Jarchi from hence gathers, that a man only makes vows of afflicting the soul, or vows of fasting; but this is not said by way of limitation and restriction, but by way of amplification and illustration, giving a particular instance, by which others may be judged of:

her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void,
just as he pleased; and this power an husband had, to prevent confusion in the family, and trouble in the affairs of it, by vowing abstinence from such and such food, or from such and such liquor, and the like; and to prevent running into expenses he was not able to answer, by vowing and dedicating, this and the other to holy uses, for sacrifices, and repairs of the temple, and the like.

Números 30:13 In-Context

11 e o seu marido o souber, mas nada lhe disser e não a proibir, então todos os votos ou compromissos pelos quais ela se obrigou serão válidos.

12 Mas, se o seu marido os anular quando deles souber, então nenhum dos votos ou compromissos que saíram de seus lábios será válido. Seu marido os anulou, e o SENHOR a livrará.

13 O marido poderá confirmar ou anular qualquer voto ou qualquer compromisso que a obrigue a humilhar-se.

14 Mas, se o marido nada lhe disser a respeito disso até o dia seguinte, com isso confirma todos os seus votos ou compromissos pelos quais se obrigou. Ele os confirma por nada lhe dizer quando os ouviu.

15 Se, contudo, ele os anular algum tempo depois de ouvi-los, ele sofrerá as consequências de sua iniquidade”.
