- Kapitel 30 -

(Matthew 5:33–37)

Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the people of Israel. He said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded.

When anyone makes a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind himself with a promise, he must not break his word. He must keep his promise to do everything that comes out of his mouth.

When a young woman living in her father’s house makes a vow to Yahweh and binds herself with a promise,

if her father hears the vow and the promise by which she has bound herself, and if he says nothing to reverse her, then all her vows will remain in force. Every promise by which she has bound herself will remain in force.

But if her father hears about her vow and her promise, and if he says nothing to her, then all the vows and promises that she took on herself will remain in force.

However, if her father hears all the vows she made and her solemn promises with which she has bound herself, and if he overrules her on that same day, then they will not remain in force. Yahweh will forgive her because her father had overruled her.

If she marries a man while she is under those vows, or if she makes rash promises with which she obligates herself, those obligations will remain in force.

But if her husband stops her on the day that he hears about it, then he cancels the vow that she has made, the rash talk of her lips with which she has bound herself. Yahweh will release her.

But as for a widow or a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself will remain in force against her.

If a woman made a vow in her husband’s house or obligates herself by taking an oath,

and her husband hears of it, but he says nothing to her and he does not oppose her, then all her vows must stand and the obligations she made must remain in force.

But if her husband cancels them on the day that he heard about them, then whatever came out of her lips about her vows or promises will not remain in force. Her husband has canceled them. Yahweh will release her.

Every vow or oath a woman takes that binds her to deny herself something may be confirmed or canceled by her husband.

But if he says nothing at all to her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and binding promises that she has made. He has confirmed them because he has said nothing to her at the time that he heard about them.

If her husband tries to cancel his wife’s vow a long time after he has heard about it, then he will be responsible for her sin.”

These are the statutes that Yahweh commanded Moses to announce-statutes for what is between a man and his wife and between a father and his daughter when she is in her youth in her father’s family.

(Matthew 5:33–37)

Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded.

When a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

“Also, when a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth,

and her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound her soul, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

But if her father forbids her in the day that he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. The LORD will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.

“If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips with which she has bound her soul,

and her husband hears it, and says nothing to her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. The LORD will forgive her.

“But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her.

“If she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her and didn’t disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she bound her soul shall stand.

But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made them void. The LORD will forgive her.

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her in the day that he heard them.

But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”

These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.
