In this chapter we have a law concerning vows, which had been mentioned in the close of the foregoing chapter. I. Here is a general rule laid down that all vows must be carefully performed, Numbers 30:1, 30:2. II. Some particular exceptions to this rule. 1. That the vows of daughters should not be binding unless allowed by the father, Numbers 30:3-30:5. Nor, 2. The vows of wives unless allowed by the husband, Numbers 30:6-30:16 MHBCC 148.1
