Expanded Bible

² “If a man makes a ·promise [vow] to the Lord or ·says he will do something special [swears an oath to bind himself to an obligation], he must ·keep his promise [^Lnot break his word]. He must do what he said [Deut. 23:21; Ps. 50:14; Eccl. 5:4–5; Matt. 5:33–37]. ³ If a young woman still living at ·home [^Lthe house of her father] makes a ·promise [vow] to the Lord or ·pledges to do something special [binds herself to an obligation], ⁴ and if her father hears about the ·promise [vow] or ·pledge [obligation by which she has bound herself] and says nothing, ·she must do what she promised [^Lall her vows stand]. ·She must keep her pledge [^LAll her obligations to which she has bound herself will stand].
