Le quatrième Livre de Moïse, appelé Nombres

Chapître 30

1

And Moses spake¹⁷ unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying,² This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded.¹⁴

2

If a man vow⁴ a vow unto the LORD, or swear⁹ an oath to bind² his soul with a bond; he shall not break⁵⁵ his word, he shall do⁴ according to all that proceedeth⁶ out of his mouth.

3

If a woman also vow⁴ a vow unto the LORD, and bind¹ herself by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;

4

And her father hear¹ her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound¹ her soul, and her father shall hold his peace⁵² at her: then all her vows shall stand,¹ and every bond wherewith she hath bound¹ her soul shall stand.⁴

5

But if her father disallow⁵² her in the day that he heareth;² not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound¹ her soul, shall stand:⁴ and the LORD shall forgive⁴ her, because her father disallowed⁵² her.

6

And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound¹ her soul;

7

And her husband heard¹ [it,] and held his peace⁵² at her in the day that he heard² [it]: then her vows shall stand,¹ and her bonds wherewith she bound¹ her soul shall stand.⁴

8

But if her husband disallowed⁵⁵ her on the day that he heard² [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound¹ her soul, of none effect:⁵² and the LORD shall forgive⁴ her.

9

But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,⁷ wherewith they have bound¹ their souls, shall stand⁴ against her.

10

And if she vowed¹ in her husband's house, or bound¹ her soul by a bond with an oath;

11

And her husband heard¹ [it], and held his peace⁵² at her, [and] disallowed⁵² her not: then all her vows shall stand,¹ and every bond wherewith she bound¹ her soul shall stand.⁴

12

But if her husband hath utterly⁵³ made them void⁵⁵ on the day he heard² [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand:⁴ her husband hath made them void;⁵² and the LORD shall forgive⁴ her.

13

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict¹⁵ the soul, her husband may establish⁵⁵ it, or her husband may make it void.⁵⁵

14

But if her husband altogether⁵³ hold his peace⁵⁵ at her from day to day; then he establisheth⁵² all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth⁵² them, because he held his peace⁵² at her in the day that he heard² [them].

15

But if he shall any ways⁵³ make them void⁵⁵ after that he hath heard² [them]; then he shall bear¹ her iniquity.

16

These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house.
