20 Then Jacob ^pmade a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then ^qthe Lord shall be my God, 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will ^rgive a full ^stenth to you.”

2 And Israel ^vvowed a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”¹

11 And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, ^dand no razor shall touch his head.”

8 For your servant ^avowed a vow while I lived at ^bGeshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to¹ the Lord.’”
