1. AND MOSES said to the heads or leaders of the tribes of Israel, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:
2. If a man vows a vow to the Lord or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break and profane his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3. Also when a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father's house in her youth,
4. And her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound herself and he offers no objection, then all her vows shall stand and every pledge with which she has bound herself shall stand.
5. But if her father refuses to allow her [to carry out her vow] on the day that he hears about it, not any of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound herself shall stand. And the Lord will forgive her because her father refused to let her [carry out her purpose].
6. And if she is married to a husband while her vows are upon her or she has bound herself by a rash utterance
7. And her husband hears of it and holds his peace concerning it on the day that he hears it, then her vows shall stand and her pledge with which she bound herself shall stand.
8. But if her husband refuses to allow her [to keep her vow or pledge] on the day that he hears of it, then he shall make void and annul her vow which is upon her and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and the Lord will forgive her.
9. But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, with which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.
10. And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath
11. And her husband heard it and did not oppose or prohibit her, then all her vows and every pledge with which she bound herself shall stand.
