Numbers 30

3 Concerning vowes. 4 The Vowe of the maid. 7 Of the wife. 10 Of the widow, or deuorced.
1.THen Moſes ſpake vnto the childrẽ of Iſraél, according to all that the Lord had commanded " him,
2.Moſes alſo ſpake vnto the heades of the tribes a concerning the children of Iſraél, ſaying, This is the thing which the Lord hathe commanded,
3.Whoſoeue: voweth a vow vnto yͤ Lord, or ſweareth an othe to bide him " ſelfe by a bonde, he ſhal not breake his " promes, but ſhal do accordīg to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
4.If a woman alſo vowe a vowe vnto the Lord, & bide her ſelfe by a bõde, being in her fathers houſe, in yͤ time of her youth,
5.And her father heare her vowe & bõde, wherewith ſhe hathe bounde her ſelfe, and her father holde his b peace concerning her, then all her vowes ſhal ſtand & eue-rie bonde, wherewith ſhe hathe bounde her ſelfe, ſhal ſtand.
6.But if her father diſalow c her the ſame daye that he heareth all her vowes & bon-des, wherewith ſhe hathe boũde her ſelfe, they ſhal not be of value, and the Lord wil forgiue her, becauſe her father diſalowed her.
7.And if she haue an housbād whē she voweth or d pronounceth oght with her lippes, whēwith she bindeth her selfe,
8.If her housband heard it and holdeth his peace cōcerning her, the same day he heareth it, then her vowe shal stand, and her bondes wherewith she bindeth her e selfe shal stand in effect.
9.But if her housband disalowe her the fame day that he heard them, then shal he make her vowe which she hathe made, & that that she hathe pronoūced with her lippes, wherewith she bonde her selfe, of none effect, and the Lord wil forgiue her.
10.But euerie vowe of a widowe, and of her that is deuorced (wherewith she hathe bōde her ſelte) ſhal ſtand in f effect with her.
11.And if she vowed in her g housbandes house, or bōde her selfe strictly with an othe,
12.And her housband hathe heard it, & helde his peace concerning her, not disalowing her, then all her vowes shal stand, & euerie bonde, wherewith she boūd her selfe, shal stand in effect.
13.But if her housband disanulled them, the same day that he heard them, nothing that proceaded out of her lippes concer-ning her vowes or concerning " her bōdes, shal stand in effect: for her housband hathe disanulled them, and the Lord wil forgiue her.
14.So euerie vowe, and euerie othe or bonde, made to i humble the soule, her housband may stablish it, or her housband may breake it.
15.But if her housband holde his peace cōceining her frō k day to day, thē he stablisheth all her vowes and all her bondes which she hathe made: he hathe cōfirmed them becauſe he held his peace concerning her the same day that he heard them.
16.But if he l breake them after that he hathe heard them, then shal he beare her iniquitie.
17.Theſe are the ordināces which the Lord commanded Moſés, betwene a man & his wife, & betwene the father and his daughter, being yong in her fathers house.
