But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, none of her vows and none of the obligations she put herself under are binding. The Lord will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

and her husband hears about it and says nothing to her when he finds out, her vows are binding, and the obligations she put herself under are binding.

But if her husband prohibits her when he hears about it, he will cancel her vow that is binding or the rash commitment she herself made, and the Lord will forgive her.

“If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,

But if her husband cancels them on the day he hears about it, nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or her obligation, is binding. Her husband has canceled them, and the Lord will absolve her.

But if you don’t do this, you will certainly sin against the Lord; be sure your sin will catch up with you.

Build cities for your dependents and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

but your servants are equipped for war before the Lord and will go across to the battle as my lord orders.”

But if they don’t go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”

We will cross over in battle formation before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”

But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become thorns in your eyes and in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.

“If anyone strikes a person with an iron object and death results, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death.

If a man has in his hand a stone capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.

or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood is to kill the murderer when he finds him.

“But if anyone suddenly pushes a person without hostility or throws any object at him without malicious intent
