1 Moses gave the following instructions to the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
2 When a man makes a vow to give something to the Lord or takes an oath to abstain from something, he must not break his promise, but must do everything that he said he would.
3 When a young woman still living in her father's house makes a vow to give something to the Lord or promises to abstain from something,
4 she must do everything that she vowed or promised unless her father raises an objection when he hears about it.
