^{1 2} And Moses spoke to^▵ the heads of the tribes as·​·to the sons of Israel, saying, This is the word which Jehovah has commanded.

^{2 3} A man^◦, when^◦ he vows a vow to Jehovah, or promises a promise to bind his soul with a bond, he shall· not ·profane his word; he shall do according·​·to all that goes·​·forth from his mouth.

^{3 4} And a woman if^▫ she vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth,

^{4 5} and her father hear her vow, and her bond with what she has bound her soul, and her father shall be·​·silent to her, then all her vows shall be secured^▵, and every bond with what she has bound her soul shall be secured^▵.

^{5 6} But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, All her vows, and her bonds wherewith she has bound her soul, shall not be secured^▵; and Jehovah shall pardon her, for her father disallowed her.

^{6 7} And if having^◦ she had^◦ a husband^◦* when her vows were upon her, or the pronouncement of her lips which she bound on her soul,

^{7 8} and her husband^◦ heard it and was·​·silent with her in the day that he heard it, then her vows shall be secured^▵, and her bonds with what she bound her soul shall be secured^▵.

^{8 9} But if, on the day her husband^◦ heard, he disallowed her, then he shall make·​·of·​·none·​·effect her vow which was upon her, and the pronouncement of her lips, which she bound upon her soul; and Jehovah shall pardon her.

^{9 10} But the vow of a widow, and of her who is driven·​·out, all that she has bound upon her soul shall be secured^▵ against her.

^{10 11} And if she vowed in the house of her husband^◦, or bound her soul by^◦ a bond with a promise,

^{11 12} and her husband^◦ heard it, and was·​·silent to her, and disallowed her not, then all her vows shall be secured^▵, and every bond with what she bound her soul shall be secured^▵.

^{12 13} But if her husband^◦, making·​·of·​·none·​·effect has made·​·of·​·none·​·effect, on^◦ the day he heard them, then all that went·​·out of her lips as·​·to her vows, or^◦ as·​·to the bond of her soul, shall not be secured^▵; her husband^◦ has made· them ·of·​·none·​·effect; and Jehovah shall pardon her.

^{13 14} Every vow, and every binding promise to afflict the soul, her husband^◦ may secure^▵ it, and her husband^◦ may make· it ·of·​·none·​·effect.

^{14 15} But if her husband^◦ being·​·silent was·​·silent to her from day to^▵ day, then he secures^▵ all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her; he secures^▵ them, for he was·​·silent to her in the day that he heard.

^{15 16} But if making·​·of·​·none·​·effect he make· them ·of·​·none·​·effect after he has heard, then he shall carry her iniquity.

^{16 17} These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a husband^◦ and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in the house of her father.
