  • Num 30:2-9 : 2 Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of Israel, saying, 'This is what the LORD has commanded:' 3 If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to bind himself by a promise, he must not break his word; he must do everything he said. 4 If a young woman living in her father’s household makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge, 5 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, all her vows and every binding obligation she has made will stand. 6 But if her father rules against her when he hears about it, none of her vows or pledges by which she has obligated herself will stand. 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.

    1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was his father.

    2 Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they grew up, they drove Jephthah away, saying, 'You will have no inheritance in our father's house because you are the son of another woman.'

    3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob. Men who were worthless gathered around Jephthah and went out with him.

    4 After some time, the Ammonites made war against Israel.

    5 When the Ammonites fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

    6 They said to Jephthah, 'Come and be our leader so we can fight against the Ammonites.'

    7 But Jephthah said to them, 'Didn’t you hate me and drive me out of my father’s house? Why do you come to me now when you’re in trouble?'

    8 The elders of Gilead replied, 'That is why we have now turned to you. Come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'

    9 Jephthah answered, 'If you bring me back to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them to me, will I really become your head?'

    10 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'The Lord is our witness; we will certainly do as you say.'

    11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him their head and commander. Jephthah repeated all his words before the Lord in Mizpah.

    12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, asking, 'What do you have against me that you have come to fight against my land?'

    13 The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s messengers, 'When Israel came out of Egypt, they took away my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok and as far as the Jordan. Now return it peacefully.'

    14 Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the Ammonites,
