(30:7) Et si elle a un mari, et que son voeu soit sur elle, ou quelque chose qui ait échappé de ses lèvres par quoi elle a obligé son âme,
Lorsqu'elle sera mariée, après avoir fait des voeux, ou s'être liée par une parole échappée de ses lèvres,
Mais si son père la désavoue au jour qu'il l'aura entendu, aucun de tous ses vœux et aucune de toutes les obligations par lesquelles elle se sera obligée sur son âme, ne sera valable, et l'Eternel lui pardonnera; parce que son père l'a désavouée.

she vowed: Heb. her vows were upon her, Psalms 56:12
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if she had at all an husband with whom she vowed,.... Or "when her vows were upon her" w, was either betrothed or married to a man:
or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; uttered anything, either with or without premeditation, either with thought and deliberation, or rashly and imprudently, as the word signifies, yet in such a manner that it was binding upon her.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rather, And if she shall at all be an husband’s, and her vows shall be upon her, or a rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, etc. The “at all” intimates that the case of a girl betrothed but not yet actually married is here especially contemplated. After betrothal, a woman continued to reside, until the period of her marriage arrived, in her father’s house; but her property was from that time forward vested in her husband, and she was so far regarded as personally his, that an act of faithlessness to him was, like adultery, punishable with death Deuteronomy 22:23-24. Hence, his right to control her vows even before he actually took her home as his wife.
