Numbers 30 – Women’s Vows

BIBLE TEXT

Numbers 30

SUMMARY

Women in a close relationship with a man may have their vows undone.

ANALYSIS

If a woman vows to become a Nazirite, her husband or father may break her vow the first time he hears about it. If he does not break her vow then, it is binding for her. Widows or women not under the power of a man will have their vows stand. Men’s vows are unbreakable.
