5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 5. But if, on the other hand, such comparatively external devotion is not in harmony with essential good from the Lord, and this is revealed, such devotion is not to be confirmed inwardly, and remission will follow, because the vows arose from ignorance or mistake.
