Vows
of Widows and Divorced Persons
Every
vow of a widow and she that is divorced wherewith she has bound her soul shall
stand against her. And if she vowed in her husband’ s house or bound her soul
by a bond with an oath, and her husband heard it and held his peace with her,
and disallowed her not, then all her vows shall stand and every bond by which
she has bound herself shall stand. And if her husband had utterly made them
void the day when he first heard them, then whatever she said concerning her
vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made
them void and the Lord will forgive her.
Every
vow and every biding oath to afflict her soul her husband may establish, it and
her husband may void it. But if her husband altogether holds his peace from day
to day then he establishes her vows, or all her bonds which she made because he
heard them on the day they were made and held his peace thereby establishing
them. But if he shall in any way make them void after he has heard them and has
kept silent, then he shall bear her iniquity.
These
are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses between a man and his wife, and
between a father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s
house.
