30:3 “If a young woman who is still living in her father’s house makes a vow to the Lord or places herself under an obligation ,
30:4 and her father hears of her vow or the obligation to which she has pledged herself , and her father remains silent about her, then all her vows will stand , and every obligation to which she has pledged herself will stand .
