Numbers 30 — Context

12

But if her husband, on hearing of it, made them without force or effect, then whatever she has said about her oaths or her undertaking has no force: her husband has made them without effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

13

Every oath, and every undertaking which she gives, to keep herself from pleasure, may be supported or broken by her husband.

14

But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

15

But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

16

These are the laws which the Lord gave Moses in relation to a man and his wife, or a father and a young daughter who is under his authority.
