CHAPTER 30 Ordinances Regarding Vows

1 And Moses spoke to the rulers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the saying which the lord ordered. 2 A man, a man who ever should vow a vow to the lord, or should swear by an oath, or should confirm a set of limits upon his life, he shall not profane his word; all as many things as should come forth from out of his mouth he shall do. 3 And if [²should vow ¹a woman] a vow to the lord, or confirm a set of limits in the house of her father in her youth; 4 and [²should hear ¹her father] her vows, and her sets of limits which she confirmed on her life, and [³should remain silent ¹her ²father], then shall stand all the matters of her vows, and all the sets of limits which she confirmed on her life she shall abide by. 5 But if in shaking his head in dissent [²should dissent ¹her father] in which ever day he should hear her vows, and her sets of limits which she confirmed on her life, then they shall not stand; and the lord shall clear her for [²shook his head in dissent ¹her father]. 6 But if in coming to pass she should become a man's wife, and her vows be upon her, according to the distinction from her lips as many things as she confirmed on her life; 7 and [²should hear ¹her husband], and should remain silent concerning her in which ever day he should hear, then thus shall stand all her vows; and her sets of limits which she confirmed on her life shall stand. 8 But if in shaking his head in dissent [²should dissent ¹her husband] in which ever day he should hear all her vows, and her sets of limits which she confirmed on her life, they shall not abide, for her husband shook his head in dissent concerning her, and the lord shall clear her. 9 And a vow of a widow, and a woman being cast out, as many things as she should make a vow on her life, shall abide to her. 10 But if in the house of her husband her vow be, or the set of limits on her life with an oath, 11 and [²should hear ¹her husband], and remain silent concerning her, and should not shake his head in dissent concerning her, then shall stand all her vows; and all her sets of limits which she confirmed on her life shall stand concerning her. 12 But if in removing [²should remove them ¹her husband], in which ever day he should hear, all as many things as should come forth from out of her lips concerning her vows, and concerning the sets of limits on her life; it shall not remain to her, her husband removed them, and the lord cleared her. 13 Every vow and every [²oath ¹binding] to afflict her soul, her husband shall set for her, and her husband shall remove for her. 14 But if in keeping silent he should remain silent at her day by day, then [³shall stand ⁴to her ¹all ²her vows]; and the sets of limits upon her shall stand to her, for he kept silent at her in the day in which he heard. 15 But if removing [²should remove them ¹her husband] after the day which he heard them, then he shall take the sin unto himself. 16 These are the ordinances, as many as the lord gave charge to Moses between a husband and between his wife, and between a father and daughter in youth in the house of her father.
