1 Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes of the Israelites: This is what the Lord has commanded:
2 When a man makes a solemn promise to the Lord or swears a solemn pledge of binding obligation for himself, he cannot break his word. He must do everything he said.
3 When a woman makes a solemn promise to the Lord or a binding obligation while she is young and in her father’s household,
4 and her father hears her solemn promise or her binding obligation for herself and keeps silent—then all her solemn promises and any of her binding obligations for herself will stand.
