NUMBERS 30 – VOWS
Vows of Men and Women
– If a man makes a vow to God and binds his soul by an oath, he shall not break his word, but shall perform all that comes from his mouth (Num. 30:1-2; cp. Ps. 15:4).
– If an unmarried woman makes a vow to the Lord, binding herself by an oath, it shall stand and she shall perform it–unless her father refuses to let it to stand on the day he hears of it. If he objects to her vow on that day, it shall not stand, and the Lord will forgive her because her father objected (Num. 30:3-5).
– If a married woman makes a vow to God and binds herself with an oath, it shall stand and she shall perform it–unless her husband objects to it on the day that he hears of it. If he objects to it on that day, it shall not stand, and the Lord will forgive her because her husband objected (Num. 30:6-8). If a divorced woman or a widow makes a vow and binds her soul with an oath to the Lord, it shall stand (Num. 30:9).
– If the vow of a divorced woman or a widow was made while she had a husband, it shall stand–unless her husband objected to it the day he heard of it.
– If her husband objected that day, it shall not stand, and the Lord will forgive her, because her husband objected (Num. 30:10-12). Every vow and binding oath that a married woman makes may be established by her husband or made void.
– If he holds his peace day after day, then he establishes her vow, but if he objects the day he hears about it, it shall not stand (Num. 30:13-14).
– If a husband hears a wife’s vow and does not object to it the day he hears about it, but objects later, he shall bear her iniquity for causing her to break it (Num. 30:15).
