  • Lev 5:15 : 15 If a person commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally in the holy things of the LORD, then he shall bring for his trespass to the LORD a ram without blemish from the flocks, valued by you in shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
  • Lev 22:10-15 : 10 No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a temporary resident of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if the priest buys any one with his money, he may eat of it, and he who is born in his house: they may eat of his food. 12 If the priest's daughter also is married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if the priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food: but no stranger shall eat thereof. 14 And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
  • Lev 27:9-9 : 9 And if it is a beast, of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he changes beast for beast, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
  • Lev 27:30-31 : 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy to the LORD. 31 And if a man will at all redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part thereof.
  • Num 30:2-9 : 2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. 3 If a woman also makes a vow to the LORD, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth, 4 And 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. 5 But 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. 6 And if she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered anything out of her lips with which she bound her soul, 7 And 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. 8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it, then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul, of no effect, and the LORD shall forgive her. 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her who is divorced, by which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 10 And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 11 And 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. 12 But 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. 13 Every vow and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 14 But 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. 15 But if he makes them void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. 16 These 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.
  • Prov 18:7 : 7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
  • Eccl 5:4-6 : 4 When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to pay it, for He has no pleasure in fools; pay what you have vowed. 5 It is better not to vow than to vow and not pay. 6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the angel that it was an error; why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
  • Mal 3:8-9 : 8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, 'In what way have we robbed you?'
