| 2If a man vows 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. | 2If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. |
| 3“If a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth, | 3If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; |
| 4and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. | 4And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. |
| 5But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the LORD will forgive her, because her father opposed her. | 5But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. |
| 6“If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, | 6And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; |
| 7and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. | 7And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. |
| 8But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the LORD will forgive her. | 8But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. |
| 9(But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) | 9But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. |
| 10And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, | 10And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; |
| 11and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. | 11And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. |
| 12But if her husband makes them null and void on the day 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 made them void, and the LORD will forgive her. | 12But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. |
| 13Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. | 13Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. |
| 14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. | 14But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. |
| 15But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.” | 15But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. |
