Numbers 30

Common English Bible CEB

1 Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the Israelites: This is what the LORD has commanded:

2 When a man makes a solemn promise to the LORD or swears a solemn pledge of binding obligation for himself, he cannot break his word. He must do everything he said.

3 When a woman makes a solemn promise to the LORD or a binding obligation while she is young and in her father's household,

4 and her father hears her solemn promise or her binding obligation for herself and keeps silent—then all her solemn promises and any of her binding obligations for herself will stand.

5 But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day that he hears her, none of her solemn promises nor any of her binding obligations for herself will stand. The LORD will forgive her, because her father expressed disapproval to her.

6 If she marries while her solemn promise is in effect or makes a statement by which she binds herself,

7 and her husband hears it and on the day he hears it keeps silent—her solemn promises will stand as well as her binding obligations for herself.

8 But if on the day that her husband hears it he expresses disapproval to her, he can break her solemn promise and the statement by which she bound herself. Then the LORD will forgive her.

9 Every solemn promise of a widow or a divorced woman who makes a binding obligation for herself will stand.

10 If a woman makes a solemn promise in her husband's household or makes a binding obligation for herself with a solemn pledge,

11 and her husband hears, keeps silent, and doesn't express disapproval to her—then all her solemn promises will stand and all her binding obligations for herself will stand.

12 If her husband breaks them on the day he hears them, then whatever she said with regard to her solemn promises or the binding obligations for herself will not stand. Her husband has broken them. The LORD will forgive her.

13 Her husband may allow any solemn promise or any binding pledge of self-denial to stand or be broken.

14 But if her husband keeps silent from one day to the next, he has upheld all her solemn promises, or all her binding obligations. He has upheld them because he remained silent on the day he heard them.

15 If he breaks them after he has heard them, he will assume her guilt.

16 These are the regulations that the LORD commanded Moses concerning a husband and his wife and between a father and his daughter while she is young and in her father's household.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the People of Israel: "This is what God commands:

2 When a man makes a vow to God or binds himself by an oath to do something, he must not break his word; he must do exactly what he has said.

3 "When a woman makes a vow to God and binds herself by a pledge as a young girl still living in her father's house,

4 and her father hears of her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then she has to make good on all her vows and pledges.

5 But if her father holds her back when he hears of what she has done, none of her vows and pledges are valid. God will release her since her father held her back.

6 "If she marries after she makes a vow or has made some rash promise or pledge,

7 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her, then she has to make good on whatever she vowed or pledged.

8 But if her husband intervenes when he hears of it, he cancels the vow or rash promise that binds her. And God will release her.

9 "Any vow or pledge taken by a widow or divorced woman is binding on her.

10 "When a woman who is living with her husband makes a vow or takes a pledge under oath

11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing and doesn't say she can't do it, then all her vows and pledges are valid.

12 But if her husband cancels them when he hears about them, then none of the vows and pledges that she made are binding. Her husband has canceled them and God will release her.

13 Any vow and pledge that she makes that may be to her detriment can be either affirmed or annulled by her husband.

14 But if her husband is silent and doesn't speak up day after day, he confirms her vows and pledges - she has to make good on them. By saying nothing to her when he hears of them, he binds her to them.

15 If, however, he cancels them sometime after he hears of them, he takes her guilt on himself."

16 These are the rules that God gave Moses regarding conduct between a man and his wife and between a father and his young daughter who is still living at home.
