Numbers 30:11-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. “If it is in her husband’s house that she makes a vow or binds herself under oath to a pledge,

12. and her husband learns of it yet says nothing to her to oppose her, then all her vows remain valid or any pledge to which she has bound herself.

13. But if on the day he learns of them her husband annuls them, then whatever she has expressly promised in her vows or in her pledge becomes invalid; since her husband has annulled them, the Lord will release her from them.

14. “Any vow or any pledge that she makes under oath to humble herself, her husband may either confirm or annul.

15. But if her husband, day after day, says nothing at all to her, he thereby confirms all her vows or all the pledges incumbent upon her; he has confirmed them, because on the day he learned of them he said nothing to her.

16. If, however, he annuls them some time after he first learned of them, he will be responsible for her guilt.”

17. These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses concerning a husband and his wife, as well as a father and his daughter while she is still in her youth in her father’s house.
