Numbers 30:9-16 - Vows Made By Widows

⁹ 'As to the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she hath bound on her soul is established on her.

¹⁰ And if in the house of her husband she hath vowed, or hath bound a bond on her soul with an oath, ¹¹ and her husband hath heard, and hath kept silent at her -- he hath not disallowed her -- then have all her vows been established, and every bond which she hath bound on her soul is established. ¹² And if her husband doth certainly break them in the day of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established -- her husband hath broken them -- and Jehovah is propitious to her. ¹³ Every vow and every oath -- a bond to humble a soul -- her husband doth establish it, or her husband doth break it; ¹⁴ and if her husband certainly keep silent at her, from day unto day, then he hath established all her vows, or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath established them, for he hath kept silent at her in the day of his hearing; ¹⁵ and if he doth at all break them after his hearing, then he hath borne her iniquity.'

¹⁶ These are the statutes which Jehovah hath commanded Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her youth, in the house of her father.
