| 1 Later, Moses told the elders of the Israeli tribes, "This is what the LORD has commanded: | 1Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, “This is what the LORD has commanded. |
| 2When a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath—an obligation that is binding to himself—he is not to break his word. Instead, he is to fulfill whatever promise came out of his mouth.'" | 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. |
| 3"When a young woman makes a vow to the LORD or pledges herself to an obligation while she still lives in her father's house, | 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, |
| 4and her father hears her vow and the obligations that she had pledged herself to fulfill, yet her father keeps silent about it, then all her vows and every obligation she pledged herself to are to stand. | 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. |
| 5But if her father disallows her on the same day that he hears what she has said, then all her vows and every obligation she had pledged herself to fulfill are not to stand. The LORD will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her." | 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. |
| 6"If she has a husband and she makes a vow that is binding on herself, or if she makes a hasty vow with her mouth that she pledges herself to fulfill, | 6“If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, |
| 7and her husband hears her vow, yet remains silent on the day that he hears it, then her vows are to stand and the obligation to which she had pledged herself is to stand. | 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. |
| 8But if, on the same day her husband hears and disallows her, then he has revoked her vows that she made for herself, along with any hasty vows that she spoke and to which she pledged herself to fulfill. The LORD will forgive her." | 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. |
| 9"Everything that a widow or a divorced woman pledges herself to fulfill are to be binding on her. | 9(But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) |
| 10If, while she had been living in her late or former husband's house, she makes a vow or a promise that binds her with an oath, | 10And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, |
| 11and her husband hears it but remains silent, not disallowing it, then all her vows are to stand, along with every obligation that she has pledged to fulfill. | 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. |
| 12But if her husband disallowed them the very day that he heard her, everything that she spoke relating to her vows and her obligation to herself are not to stand, because her husband revoked them. The LORD will forgive her. | 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. |
| 13Her husband may confirm or revoke every vow and binding obligation that afflicts her. | 13Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. |
| 14But if her husband remains silent about her from day to day, then he has affirmed all her vows or obligations that she has obligated herself to fulfill. He has affirmed them because he remained silent from the day he heard her vows. | 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. |
| 15But if he nullified them after he had heard, then he will be responsible for any resulting iniquity." | 15But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.” |
| 16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning a man and his wife and concerning a father and his young daughter while she still lives in her father's house. | 16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father’s house. |
