Numbers 30

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of the Israelites: This is what the Lord has commanded.

2 When a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 When a woman makes a vow to the Lord, or binds herself by a pledge, while within her father's house, in her youth,

4 and her father hears of her vow or her pledge by which she has bound herself, and says nothing to her; then all her vows shall stand, and any pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.

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.)

10 And if she made a vow in her husband's house, or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,

11 and her husband heard it and said nothing to her, and did not express disapproval to her, then all her vows shall stand, and any pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.

12 But if her husband nullifies them at the time that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning her pledge of herself, shall not stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will forgive her.

13 Any vow or any binding oath to deny herself, her husband may allow to stand, or her husband may nullify.

14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he validates all her vows, or all her pledges, by which she is obligated; he has validated them, because he said nothing to her at the time that he heard of them.

15 But if he nullifies them some time after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her guilt.

16 These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses concerning a husband and his wife, and a father and his daughter while she is still young and in her father's house.

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.
