³ When a woman, while living in her father’s house during her youth, makes a vow to the Lord and puts herself under an obligation, ⁴ and her father hears about her vow and her obligation which she has undertaken, but her father says nothing to her, then all her vows will stand, and every obligation which she has undertaken will stand. ⁵ But if her father forbids her on the same day that he hears about them, none of her vows nor her obligations which she has undertaken will stand. The Lord will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
