[1] \29:40\So Moses gave the children of Israel all these directions as the
Lord had given him orders. [2] \30:1\And Moses said to the heads of the
tribes of the children of Israel, This is the order of the Lord. [3]
\30:2\When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having
the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do
whatever he has said he will do. [4] \30:3\If a woman, being young and
under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an
undertaking; [5] \30:4\If her father, hearing of her oath or the
undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and
every undertaking she has given will have force. [6] \30:5\But if her
father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the
undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have
forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father. [7]
\30:6\And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an
oath or an undertaking given without thought; [8] \30:7\If her husband,
hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and
the undertakings she gave will have force. [9] \30:8\But if her husband,
hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the
undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she
will have the Lord's forgiveness. [10] \30:9\But an oath made by a widow or
one who is no longer married to her husband, and every undertaking she has
given, will have force. [11] \30:10\If she made an oath while she was under
the authority of her husband, [12] \30:11\And her husband, hearing of it,
said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and
every undertaking she gave will have force. [13] \30:12\But if her husband,
on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has
said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made
them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness. [14]
\30:13\Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself
from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband. [15] \30:14\But
if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is
giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because
at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her. [16] \30:15\But if at
some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is
responsible for her wrongdoing. [17] \30:16\These are the laws which the
Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young
daughter who is under his authority.
