Numbers 30:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² If her husband hear, and hold his peace, and doth not disallow the promise, she shall accomplish whatsoever she had promised.

¹³ But if forthwith he gainsay it, she shall not be bound by the promise: because her husband gainsaid it, and the Lord will be merciful to her.

¹⁴ If she vow and bind herself by oath, to afflict her soul by fasting, or abstinence from other things, it shall depend on the will of her husband, whether she shall do it, or not do it.
