1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth; 4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; 7 And her husband heard it , and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10 And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; 11 And her husband heard it , and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them . 15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
1 narravitque Moses filiis Israhel omnia quae ei Dominus imperarat
2 et locutus est ad principes tribuum filiorum Israhel
iste est sermo quem praecepit Dominus
3 si quis virorum votum Domino voverit
aut se constrinxerit iuramento
non faciet irritum verbum suum
sed omne quod promisit implebit
4 mulier si quippiam voverit et se constrinxerit iuramento
quae est in domo patris sui et in aetate adhuc puellari
si cognoverit pater votum quod pollicita est
et iuramentum quo obligavit animam suam
et tacuerit voti rea erit
5 quicquid pollicita est et iuravit opere conplebit
6 sin autem statim ut audierit contradixerit pater
et vota et iuramenta eius irrita erunt
nec obnoxia tenebitur sponsioni
eo quod contradixerit pater
7 si maritum habuerit et voverit aliquid
et semel verbum de ore eius egrediens
animam illius obligaverit iuramento
8 quo die audierit vir et non contradixerit voti rea erit
reddet quodcumque promiserat
9 sin autem audiens statim contradixerit
et irritas fecerit pollicitationes eius
verbaque quibus obstrinxerat animam suam
propitius ei erit Dominus
10 vidua et repudiata quicquid voverint reddent
11 uxor in domo viri cum se voto constrinxerit et iuramento
12 si audierit vir et tacuerit nec contradixerit sponsioni
reddet quodcumque promiserat
13 sin autem extemplo contradixerit
non tenebitur promissionis rea quia maritus contradixit
et Dominus ei propitius erit
14 si voverit et iuramento se constrinxerit
ut per ieiunium vel ceterarum rerum abstinentiam adfligat animam suam
in arbitrio viri erit ut faciat sive non faciat
15 quod si audiens vir tacuerit et in alteram diem distulerit sententiam
quicquid voverat atque promiserat reddet
quia statim ut audivit tacuit
16 sin autem contradixerit postquam rescivit
portabit ipse iniquitatem eius
17 istae sunt leges quas constituit Dominus Mosi
inter virum et uxorem
inter patrem et filiam quae in puellari adhuc aetate est
vel quae manet in parentis domo
