      Chapter 30

       Table of Contents

      ¹ And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded.

      ² When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth 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.

      ³ Also when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth,

      ⁴ and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

      ⁵ But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

      ⁶ And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul,

      ⁷ and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

      ⁸ But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her.

      ⁹ But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] everything wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her.

      ¹⁰ And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,

      ¹¹ and 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.

      ¹² But if her husband made them null and void in the day that 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 Jehovah will forgive her.

      ¹³ Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

      ¹⁴ But 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 hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

      ¹⁵ But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

      ¹⁶ These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

      ¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

      ² Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

      ³ And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah's vengeance on Midian.

      ⁴ Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

      ⁵ So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

      ⁶ And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

      ⁷ And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male.

      ⁸ And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

      ⁹ And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

      ¹⁰ And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.

      ¹¹ And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

      ¹² And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

      ¹³ And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

      ¹⁴ And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

      ¹⁵ And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

      ¹⁶ Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.
