וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל-רָאשֵׁי הַמַּטּוֹת לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה

KJVAnd Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.

Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, This is what the LORD has commanded.

אִישׁ כִּי-יִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַיהוָה אוֹ-הִשָּׁבַע שְׁבֻעָה לֶאְסֹר אִסָּר עַל-נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ כְּכָל-הַיֹּצֵא מִפִּיו יַעֲשֶׂה

KJVIf a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

וְאִשָּׁה כִּי-תִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַיהוָה וְאָסְרָה אִסָּר בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ בִּנְעֻרֶיהָ

KJVIf a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth;

If a woman vows a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father's house in her youth,

וְשָׁמַע אָבִיהָ אֶת-נִדְרָהּ וֶאֱסָרָהּ אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ אָבִיהָ וְקָמוּ כָּל-נְדָרֶיהָ וְכָל-אִסָּר אֲשֶׁר-אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ יָקוּם

KJVAnd her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand.

וְאִם-הֵנִיא אָבִיהָ אֹתָהּ בְּיוֹם שָׁמְעוֹ כָּל-נְדָרֶיהָ וֶאֱסָרֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר-אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ לֹא יָקוּם וַיהוָה יִסְלַח-לָהּ כִּי-הֵנִיא אָבִיהָ אֹתָהּ

KJVBut if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the LORD will forgive her, because her father opposed her.

וְאִם-הָיוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ וּנְדָרֶיהָ עָלֶיהָ אוֹ מִבְטָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ

KJVAnd if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,

וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ בְּיוֹם שָׁמְעוֹ וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ וְקָמוּ נְדָרֶיהָ וֶאֱסָרֶהָ אֲשֶׁר-אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ יָקֻמוּ

KJVAnd 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 wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she bound herself shall stand.

וְאִם בְּיוֹם שְׁמֹעַ אִישָׁהּ יָנִיא אוֹתָהּ וְהֵפֵר אֶת-נִדְרָהּ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיהָ וְאֵת מִבְטָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ וַיהוָה יִסְלַח-לָהּ

KJVBut 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, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the LORD will forgive her.

וְנֵדֶר אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ יָקוּם עָלֶיהָ

KJVBut every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.

וְאִם-בֵּית אִישָׁהּ נָדָרָה אוֹ-אָסְרָה אִסָּר עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ בִּשְׁבֻעָה

KJVAnd if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath

וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ לֹא הֵנִיא אֹתָהּ וְקָמוּ כָּל-נְדָרֶיהָ וְכָל-אִסָּר אֲשֶׁר-אָסְרָה עַל-נַפְשָׁהּ יָקוּם

KJVAnd her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand.

וְאִם-הָפֵר יָפֵר אֹתָם אִישָׁהּ בְּיוֹם שָׁמְעוֹ כָּל-מוֹצָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ לִנְדָרֶיהָ וּלְאִסַּר נַפְשָׁהּ לֹא יָקוּם אִישָׁהּ הֲפֵרָם וַיהוָה יִסְלַח-לָהּ

KJVBut if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the LORD will forgive her.

כָּל-נֵדֶר וְכָל-שְׁבֻעַת אִסָּר לְעַנֹּת נָפֶשׁ אִישָׁהּ יְקִימֶנּוּ וְאִישָׁהּ יְפֵרֶנּוּ

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

Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void.

וְאִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ יַחֲרִישׁ לָהּ אִישָׁהּ מִיּוֹם אֶל-יוֹם וְהֵקִים אֶת-כָּל-נְדָרֶיהָ אוֹ אֶת-כָּל-אֱסָרֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיהָ הֵקִים אֹתָם כִּי-הֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ בְּיוֹם שָׁמְעוֹ

KJVBut if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them.

וְאִם-הָפֵר יָפֵר אֹתָם אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעוֹ וְנָשָׂא אֶת-עֲוֹנָהּ

KJVBut if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.

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

אֵלֶּה הַחֻקִּים אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה בֵּין אִישׁ לְאִשְׁתּוֹ בֵּין אָב לְבִתּוֹ בִּנְעֻרֶיהָ בֵּית אָבִיהָ

KJVThese 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.

These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses about a man and his wife and about a father and his daughter while she is in her youth within her father's house.
