2 When a man makes a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to put himself under an obligation, he must not break his word; he must do whatever he has promised.(A)
2 (B)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.
2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
2 "When a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath an obligation that is binding to himself he is not to break his word. Instead, he is to fulfill whatever promise came out of his mouth.'"

3 “When a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the Lord or puts herself under an obligation,
3 “Also if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by an obligation in her father’s house in her youth,
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;
3 "When a young woman makes a vow to the LORD or pledges herself to an obligation while she still lives in her father's house,
3 “Also if a woman makes a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge [of abstinence], while living in her father’s house in her youth,
4 and her father hears about her vow or the obligation she put herself under, and he says nothing to her, all her vows and every obligation she put herself under are binding.
4 and her father hears her vow and her obligation by which she has bound herself, and her father (a)says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand and every obligation by which she has bound herself shall stand.

15 But if he indeed annuls them after he has heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.”
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
15 But if he nullified them after he had heard, then he will be responsible for any resulting iniquity."
