number 31

1. And Moses spoke to the heads of the
tribes concerning the children of Israel,
saying, “This is the thing which the
LORD has commanded:
2. If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or
swears an oath to bind himself with a
bond, he shall not break his word. He
shall do according to all that comes out
of his mouth.
3. if a woman also vows a vow to the
LORD, and binds herself by a bond, being
in her father’s house in her youth,
4. And if her father hears her vow and
her bond with which she has bound herself,
and if her father is silent as to her,
then all her vows shall stand, and every
bond with which she has bound herself
shall stand.
5. But if her father does not allow her
vow in the day that he hears of it, none of
her vows or her bonds with which she
has bound herself shall stand. And the
LORD shall forgive her because her father
did not allow her.
6. And if she had a husband when she
vowed, or if she said anything rash out of
her lips with which she bound herself,
7. And if her husband heard and is silent
as to her in the day that he heard, then
her vows shall stand, and her bonds with
which she bound herself shall stand.
8. But if her husband did not allow 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, with
which she bound herself, of no effect.
And the LORD shall forgive her.
9. But every vow of a widow and of her
who is divorced, all which she has bound
on herself shall stand against her.
10. And if she vowed in her husband’s
house, or bound herself by a bond with
an oath,
11. And if her husband heard and is silent
as to her, and did not forbid her, then all
her vows shall stand, and every bond
with which she bound herself shall stand.
12. But if her husband has certainly nullified
them on the day he heard, whatever
comes out of her lips concerning her
vows or concerning the bond of herself,
shall not stand. Her husband has nullified
them. And the LORD shall forgive her.
13. Every vow and every binding oath to
afflict herself, her husband may establish
it, or her husband may nullify it.
14. But if her husband is altogether silent
as to her from day to day, then he establishes
all her vows or all her bonds which
are on her. He confirms them because he
was silent as to her in the day that he
heard.
15. But if he at all nullifies them after he
has heard, then he has borne her iniquity.”
16. These are the statutes which the
LORD commanded Moses, between a
man and his wife, between the father and
his daughter in her youth in her father’s
house.

1. And Moses spoke to the heads of the
tribes concerning the children of Israel,
saying, “This is the thing which the
LORD has commanded:
2. If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or
swears an oath to bind himself with a
bond, he shall not break his word. He
shall do according to all that comes out
of his mouth.
3. if a woman also vows a vow to the
LORD, and binds herself by a bond, being
in her father’s house in her youth,
4. And if her father hears her vow and
her bond with which she has bound herself,
and if her father is silent as to her,
then all her vows shall stand, and every
bond with which she has bound herself
shall stand.
5. But if her father does not allow her
vow in the day that he hears of it, none of
her vows or her bonds with which she
has bound herself shall stand. And the
LORD shall forgive her because her father
did not allow her.
6. And if she had a husband when she
vowed, or if she said anything rash out of
her lips with which she bound herself,
7. And if her husband heard and is silent
as to her in the day that he heard, then
her vows shall stand, and her bonds with
which she bound herself shall stand.
8. But if her husband did not allow 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, with
which she bound herself, of no effect.
And the LORD shall forgive her.
9. But every vow of a widow and of her
who is divorced, all which she has bound
on herself shall stand against her.
10. And if she vowed in her husband’s
house, or bound herself by a bond with
an oath,
11. And if her husband heard and is silent
as to her, and did not forbid her, then all
her vows shall stand, and every bond
with which she bound herself shall stand.
12. But if her husband has certainly nullified
them on the day he heard, whatever
comes out of her lips concerning her
vows or concerning the bond of herself,
shall not stand. Her husband has nullified
them. And the LORD shall forgive her.
13. Every vow and every binding oath to
afflict herself, her husband may establish
it, or her husband may nullify it.
14. But if her husband is altogether silent
as to her from day to day, then he establishes
all her vows or all her bonds which
are on her. He confirms them because he
was silent as to her in the day that he
heard.
15. But if he at all nullifies them after he
has heard, then he has borne her iniquity.”
16. These are the statutes which the
LORD commanded Moses, between a
man and his wife, between the father and
his daughter in her youth in her father’s
house.
