SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]


     Explanation: Numbers 30 contains laws concerning vows. The rules differ depending on whether the one making the vow was a man or woman; and for women special conditions applied depending on whether she was married, single, or a minor. The general rule is that vows and oaths are unbreakable (1-2).
     For a woman who is a minor her vow must stand unless her father disallows it (3-5). Also, for a married woman, her vow will stand unless her husband disallows it. However, vows of widows stand. So do the vows of a woman who is divorced. But a husband who hears his wife's vow, allows it, and later disallows it commits a sin and will be charged with iniquity -- i.e., perversity, depravity, or guilt (6-16).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

     1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes the concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to [yoke upon] 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 also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; 4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound [yoked upon] her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound [yoked upon] her soul shall stand. 5 But 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 And if she had at all an husband [to become she is becoming a man's], when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound [yoked upon] her soul; 7 And 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 [yoked upon] her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed [which was upon her], and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound [yoked upon] her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound [yoked upon] their souls, shall stand against her. 10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound [yoked upon] her soul by a bond with an oath; 11 And 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 [yoked upon] her soul shall stand. 12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void [to annul he is annulling] 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. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace [to be silent he is being silent] 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. 15 But if he shall any ways make them void [to annul he is annulling] after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
