Numbers 30:2

Laws For Vows

¹ Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: This is what Jehovah has commanded about vows: ² If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. ³ A young girl, who still lives in her father's house, might make a vow to Jehovah that she will do something or swear an oath that she will not do something.
