Nombres 30:16

Mais s'il les annule quelque temps après les avoir entendus, il portera la peine du péché de sa femme. Telles sont les ordonnances que l'Éternel commanda à Moïse, entre un mari et sa femme, entre un père et sa fille, quand elle est encore dans la maison de son père, en sa jeunesse.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Mais s'il les a expressément cassés après gu'il les aura entendus, il portera l'iniquité de sa femme. Telles [sont] les ordonnances que l'Eternel donna à Moïse par rapport à l'homme et à sa femme; au père et à sa fille, étant [encore] dans la maison de son père, en sa jeunesse.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses between a man and his wife,.... Relating to vows made by the wife, and confirmed or disannulled by the husband: Aben Ezra adds, if she is at age or in puberty, understanding it of a married and not a betrothed wife:

between the father and his daughter; if she is not at age, as the same writer observes; for if she is at age he has nothing to do with her vows:

[being yet] in her youth; not at age, being not twelve years and one day old:

in her father's house; in his power and jurisdiction, and at his disposal, and so could make her vows void or firm, as he pleased: this power of ratifying or disannulling vows an husband had over his wife, and a father over his daughter, to prevent imprudent and extravagant vows, and the too frequent use of them, the consequences of which might be bad in families.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 30:16. These are the statutes — It is very probable that this law, like that concerning the succession of daughters, (Numbers 27:1-11), rose from the exigency of some particular case that had just then occurred.

Making vows, in almost any case, is a dangerous business; they seldom do any good, and often much evil. He who does not feel himself bound to do what is fit, right, and just, from the standing testimony of God's word, is not likely to do it from any obligation he may lay upon his own conscience. If God's word lack weight with him, his own will prove lighter than vanity. Every man who professes the Christian religion is under the most solemn obligation to devote body, soul, and spirit to God, not only to the utmost extent of his powers, but also as long as he exists. Being baptized, and receiving the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, are additional ratifications of the great, general, Christian vow; but every true follower of Christ should always remember, and frequently renew, his covenant with God.
