Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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 the,tribes of,sons Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads the,tribes of,sons Yisrael to=say this the,word which/who commanded YHWH )

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Mosheh to/towards heads the,tribes of,sons 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
