Contextual Overview

3 If a woman makes a promise to the Lord, and swears to keep her promise in her father's house when she is young, 4 and if her father hears her promise and how she has sworn to keep it, and says nothing to her, then all her promises must be kept. She must keep every promise she has sworn to keep. 5 But if her father does not allow her to keep her promise on the day he hears of it, then she does not need to keep any of the promises she has sworn to keep. The Lord will forgive her because her father would not allow it. 6 "If she gets married and has promises to keep because of what she swore without thinking, 7 and if her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears, then she must keep the promises she has sworn to keep. 8 But if on the day he hears of it, her husband does not allow her to keep her promise, then she will not have to keep the promise that she had sworn to keep when she was not thinking. The Lord will forgive her. 9 "A woman whose husband has died or left her must keep the promises she has sworn to keep. 10 But if she has made a promise in her husband's house, and she has sworn to keep a promise there 11 and if her husband hears of it, and does not go against her or say anything to her, then she must keep all the promises she had sworn to keep. 12 But if her husband does not allow her to keep her promises on the day he hears of them, then she does not have to keep the promises she had sworn to keep. If her husband will not let her keep them, the Lord will forgive her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand; or she be under obligation to perform them.
