'Vows' in the Bible

“This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the Lord according to his separation, in addition to what else he can afford; according to his vow which he takes, so he shall do according to the law of his separation.”

and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.

But if her father should forbid her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will forgive her because her father had forbidden her.

“However, if she should marry while under her vows or the rash statement of her lips by which she has bound herself,

and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her obligations by which she has bound herself shall stand.

and her husband heard it, but said nothing to her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she bound herself shall stand.

But if her husband indeed annuls them on the day he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the obligation of herself shall not stand; her husband has annulled them, and the Lord will forgive her.

But if her husband indeed says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her obligations which are on her; he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard them.

“You will pray to Him, and He will hear you;And you will pay your vows.

From You comes my praise in the great assembly;I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.

“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgivingAnd pay your vows to the Most High;

Your vows are binding upon me, O God;I will render thank offerings to You.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever;Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

He will abide before God forever;Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;I shall pay You my vows,

Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

I shall pay my vows to the Lord,Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.

I shall pay my vows to the Lord,Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,

“I was due to offer peace offerings;Today I have paid my vows.

It is a trap for a man to say rashly, “It is holy!”And after the vows to make inquiry.

What, O my son?And what, O son of my womb?And what, O son of my vows?

thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, as follows: ‘As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled it with your hands, saying, “We will certainly perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” Go ahead and confirm your vows, and certainly perform your vows!’

Then the men feared the Lord greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.

Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news,Who announces peace!Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;Pay your vows.For never again will the wicked one pass through you;He is cut off completely.

“But cursed be the swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great King,” says the Lord of hosts, “and My name is feared among the nations.”

“Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall fulfill your vows to the Lord.’
