3If a woman also vow a vow unto Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;

6And if she have a husband, when she hath her vow upon her or ought that hath passed her lips wherewith she hath bound her soul,

13Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband can establish it, or her husband can annul it.
14And if her husband be altogether silent at her from day to day, then he hath established all her vows or all her bonds which are upon her; he hath confirmed them, for he hath been silent at her in the day that he heard them.
