3When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.
4If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;
5If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.
6But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.
7And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;
8If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.
9But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.
