    10And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

    11And her husband heard it and held his peace at her and did not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

    12But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand; her husband has made them void, and the LORD shall forgive her.

    13Every vow and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

    14But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he confirms them, because he held his peace at her on the day that he heard them.

    15But if he makes them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

    16These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.

    4And her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

    5But if her father disallows her on the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand, and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

    6And if she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered anything out of her lips with which she bound her soul,

    7And her husband heard it and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand.
