Num 30:3-5 | MHM | STEP | Numbers 30:3 – Rules for Vows Made by Women. This section explains what happens when someone who is not fully independent, like a daughter or a wife, makes a vow to God. The law shows that if a person is under the authority of someone else, such as a parent or husband, there are special rules. This protects the family order and respects the authority of parents and husbands. The law also reminds children and wives to honor those in authority over them, and encourages good order and respect in families. v. 3 : If a young woman living in her father’s house makes a vow to God, her promise does not fully take effect until her father knows about it. If her father says nothing, her vow stands. But if he objects when he hears about it, her vow is cancelled and she is not guilty for breaking it (Numbers 30:3-5 ). This teaches that children should respect their parents’ authority. If the law is followed, it helps keep families strong and respectful (Matthew 15:5,6 ).
