30 Then Mosheh (Moses) gave the Israeli leaders these further instructions from Yahweh, 2 “If a man makes a solemn promise to Yahweh, or makes a binding vow on his own life, he mustn’t dishonour what he said—he must follow whatever came out of his mouth.[ref]

3 If a young woman who is still living with her parents solemnly promises to Yahweh to do something, 4 and if her father hears her make the binding vow on her life and he remains silent, then her vow and all her obligations will stand. 5 However, if her father forbids her when he hears her, then that vow and its obligations won’t stand, and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father stepped in.

6 If she gets engaged or married while a vow or thoughtless promise still holds, 7 and her (future) husband hears about it and remains silent that day, then her vow and or thoughtless promise will stand. 8 However, if her (future) husband forbids her when he hears her, then that vow and its obligations won’t stand, and Yahweh will forgive her.

9 If a widow or a woman who has been divorced makes a promise, she must do what she promised.

10 If a married woman makes a solemn promise, or makes a binding vow on her own life, 11 and her husband hears about it but says nothing and doesn’t forbid her, then her vow and all her obligations will stand. 12 However, if he actually nullifies it when he hears about it, any promise that she pronounced or binding vow on her life, won’t stand. Her husband has nullified them and Yahweh will forgive her, 13 so every vow and its obligations can either be nullified or confirmed by her husband. 14 If her husband has stayed silent for several days, that will confirm all her vows and/or obligations because he said nothing. 15 However, if he cancels them sometime after he’d heard about them, then he will bear her guilt.

16 Those are the instructions that Yahweh gave Mosheh (Moses) about promises between a man and his wife, and between a father and his unmarried daughter living at home.
