2 ^gIf a man vows a vow to the Lord, or ^hswears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. ⁱHe shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

4 and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.

12 But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and ^lthe Lord will forgive her.
