          DASV: Numbers 30    

1 Then Moses spoke 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 takes an oath to
bind himself with a pledge, he must not break his word; he
must do exactly what his mouth promised.
3 If a young woman living in her father's house makes
a vow to the LORD, and binds herself with a pledge,
4 and her father hears her vow, and her pledge by which
she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her;
then all her vows will stand, and any pledge by which
she had bound herself shall stand.
5 But if her father forbids it on the day he heard it,
then none of her vows, or pledge by which she had bound
herself will stand and the LORD will forgive her,
because her father forbid her.
6 If she marries a husband, while her vows are on her,
or her lips uttered any impulsive pledge, by which
she has bound herself,
7 and her husband hears about it, but says nothing to
her in the day he hears it; then her vows will stand,
and her pledges by which she had bound herself will stand.
8 But if her husband forbids her in the day he hears it,
then he will nullify her vow she has taken or the
impulsive pledge of her lips by which she has bound
herself and the LORD will forgive her.
9 But the vow of a woman who is a widow or divorced which
has bound herself, will remain binding on her.
10 If she made a vow in her husband's house or bound
herself with a pledge under an oath,
11 and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her,
and did not forbid her, then all her vows will stand,
and every pledge by which she has bound herself will stand.
12 But if her husband nullifies them when he hears them,
then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her
vows or concerning the pledge of herself, will not stand.
Her husband has nullified them and the LORD will forgive her.
13 Any vow and binding oath to afflict herself,
her husband may confirm or nullify it.
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day,
then he so confirms all her vows or all her pledges she
is bound with. He has confirmed them because he said
nothing to her when he initially heard them.
15 But if he nullifies them only some time after he has
heard them, then he will bear her guilt.'"
16 These are the regulations that the LORD commanded Moses,
between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter,
while she is young still living in her father's house.
