and her husband heard about it, but remained silent about her, and did not overrule her, then all her vows will stand, and every obligation which she pledged for herself will stand.

<p class="bodytext">Now when Moses went into<n id="1" /> the tent of meeting to speak with the <sc>Lordsc>,<n id="2" /> he heard the voice speaking to him from above the atonement lid<n id="3" /> that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim.<n id="4" /> Thus he spoke to him.p>

then they will tell it to the inhabitants<n id="1" /> of this land. They have heard that you, <sc>Lordsc>, are among this people, that you, <sc>Lord,sc> are seen face to face,<n id="2" /> that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.

For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted<n id="1" /> me now these ten times,<n id="2" /> and have not obeyed me,<n id="3" />

and her father hears of her vow or the obligation to which she has pledged herself, and her father remains silent about her,<n id="1" /> then all her vows will stand,<n id="2" /> and every obligation to which she has pledged herself will stand.

But if her father overrules her when he hears<n id="1" /> about it, then none<n id="2" /> of her vows or her obligations which she has pledged for herself will stand. And the <sc>Lordsc> will release<n id="3" /> her from it, because her father overruled her.p>

But if when her husband hears it he overrules her, then he will nullify<n id="1" /> the vow she has taken,<n id="2" /> and whatever she uttered impulsively which she has pledged for herself. And the <sc>Lordsc> will release her from it.p>

But if her husband clearly nullifies<n id="1" /> them when he hears them, then whatever she says<n id="2" /> by way of vows or obligations will not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the <sc>Lordsc> will release her from them.p>

But if her husband remains completely silent<n id="1" /> about her from day to day, he thus confirms all her vows or all her obligations which she is under; he confirms them because he remained silent about when he heard them.
