But no outsider may eat of it. 14 If anyone eats a sacred offering unintentionally, they must add a fifth of its value to it and give it to the priest as compensation for the sacred thing. 15 The priests must not allow the sacred offerings of the people of Israel, which they present to the LORD, to be defiled.

The LORD will forgive her because her father has objected to it. 7 If she marries after making a vow or rashly uttering a binding obligation by which she binds herself, 8 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, her vows or obligations she has made will stand. 9 But if her husband voids them when he hears about them, nothing she has vowed or promised by binding obligation will stand; the LORD will forgive her. 10 A widow or a divorced woman is bound by all her vows and the obligations she places on herself. 11 If a woman living in her husband's household makes a vow or takes an oath to bind herself by a pledge, 12 But if her husband hears about her vow and says nothing to her, he has approved all her vows and every obligation she has taken upon herself. They will stand. 13 But if her husband annuls them on the day he hears of them, then none of the words from her lips concerning her vows or the obligations she has taken upon herself will stand. Her husband has annulled them, and the LORD will forgive her. 14 Any vow or binding oath to deny herself can be confirmed or annulled by her husband. 15 But if her husband says nothing to her from one day to the next, he confirms all her vows or binding obligations that are upon her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears of them. 16 If he annuls them after he hears of them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.
