Numbers 30:6-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. If she marries while her solemn promise is in effect or makes a statement by which she binds herself,

7. and her husband hears it and on the day he hears it keeps silent—her solemn promises will stand as well as her binding obligations for herself.

8. But if on the day that her husband hears it he expresses disapproval to her, he can break her solemn promise and the statement by which she bound herself. Then the Lord will forgive her.

9. Every solemn promise of a widow or a divorced woman who makes a binding obligation for herself will stand.

10. If a woman makes a solemn promise in her husband’s household or makes a binding obligation for herself with a solemn pledge,

11. and her husband hears, keeps silent, and doesn’t express disapproval to her—then all her solemn promises will stand and all her binding obligations for herself will stand.
