Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

30:1-16 Vows were an important way to express devotion or piety, but were sometimes made in haste and were often forgotten. Voluntary pledges were commonly made on special religious occasions or in times of war. Perhaps the reference to vows and voluntary offerings (29:39) prompted the further discussion here (cp. 15:3; see also 6:1-21; Lev 5:4-5; 27:1-34; Deut 23:21-23). These instructions were applied in the case of Hannah and Elkanah (1 Sam 1:1-28). Such practices, which included fasting, continued into the New Testament period (e.g., Matt 6:16; 15:3-9; Acts 18:18; 21:23). Vows of females—young and unmarried or adult and married—were subject to approval by the responsible male who would be a financial partner in the vow. Nobody, male or female, young or old, should make a vow to God and then neglect it.
(Occurrence 0) a man makes a vow
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads_of the,tribes of,sons_of Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )
The words “a man” refer to any man, not one particular man. It refers only to men and does not include women. Alternate translation: “any man”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) to bind himself with a binding promise
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads_of the,tribes of,sons_of Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )
Here Moses speaks of a person promising to do something as if his promise were a physical object that he ties to himself. Alternate translation: “committing to fulfill a promise” or “promising to do something”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) he must not break his word. He must keep his promise to do everything that comes out of his mouth
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads_of the,tribes of,sons_of Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )
These two sentences have similar meanings and are combined to emphasize that he must fulfill his promises. Here “word” is a metonym that refers to what he said.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹ֥א יַחֵ֖ל דְּבָר֑וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads_of the,tribes of,sons_of Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )
The phrase his word refers to a man’s oaths and vows. Alternate translation: “he must fulfill his promises”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) everything that comes out of his mouth
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads_of the,tribes of,sons_of Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )
Here the word “mouth” is a metonym for the things that the man says. Alternate translation: “to do everything that he says he will do”
