1And Moshe spoke with the Leaders of the tribes of the children of Israel and said to them: “This is the word that LORD JEHOVAH commanded: 2‘When a man will vow a vow to LORD JEHOVAH and will swear in an oath and will bind a bond on himself, he shall not violate his word; everything that proceeds from his mouth he shall do.

3And when a woman will vow a vow to LORD JEHOVAH and she shall bind a bond on herself in her youth in the house of her father: 4And her father will hear the vow and the bond that she bound on herself and her father shall be silent to her, all of the vows and all the bonds that she bound on herself shall be confirmed. 5And if her father would nullify them in the day when he hears all the vows and all the bonds that she bound on herself, they shall not be confirmed and LORD JEHOVAH shall forgive her because her father nullified them.

6And if she will belong to a husband and her vows are upon her or a devoted offering of her lips that she bound on herself; 7And her husband will hear, and he is silent to her in the day when he hears, all of the vows and the bonds that she bound on herself shall certainly be confirmed. 8And if in the day when her husband hears, he nullifies them, the vows and the devotion offerings of her lips that she bound on herself shall be void and LORD JEHOVAH shall forgive her.

9And the entire vow of a widow or of an abandoned woman that she binds on herself will be confirmed for her. 10And if she has vowed in the house of her husband or she has bound a bond on herself in an oath; 11And her husband will hear and he is silent to her and he does not nullify them, all of the vows and all the bonds that she bound on herself shall surely be confirmed. 12And if her husband would certainly nullify them in the day when he hears everything that goes out from her lips, her vow and the bond that she bound on herself shall not be established because her husband nullified them and LORD JEHOVAH shall forgive her.

13Her husband may confirm all of the vows and all the oaths of bonds that detract from the soul, or her husband may nullify them. 14And if her husband will be intentionally quiet to her from day to day, all of the vows and all bonds that she bound on herself shall be confirmed, because her husband was silent to her in the day when he heard. 15And if he will certainly nullify them after he hears, he will bear her sin.’”

16These are the laws that LORD JEHOVAH commanded Moshe between a man and his wife and the house of a father and his daughter in her youth, in the house of her father.
