Numbers 30:12-16 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

12. But if he hears about the promise and does object, she no longer has to keep it. The Lord will forgive her, because her husband would not allow her to keep the promise.

13. Her husband has the final say about any promises she makes to the Lord.

14. If her husband hears about a promise and says nothing about it for a whole day, she must do what she said—since he did not object, the promise must be kept.

15. But if he waits until the next day to stop her from keeping her promise, he is the one who must be punished.

16. These are the laws that the Lord gave Moses about husbands and wives, and about young daughters who still live at home.
