Nombres 30:9

Mais si, au jour que son mari l'apprend, il la désavoue, il annulera le vœu par lequel elle s'était engagée et la parole échappée de ses lèvres, par laquelle elle s'était imposé une obligation à elle-même; et l'Éternel lui pardonnera.

Louis Segond (1910)
Le voeu d'une femme veuve ou répudiée, l'engagement quelconque par lequel elle se sera liée, sera valable pour elle.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Mais si au jour que son mari l'aura entendu il l'a désavouée, il aura cassé le vœu par lequel elle s'était engagée, et ce qu'elle avait légèrement proféré de sa bouche, en quoi elle s'était obligée sur son âme; l'Eternel lui pardonnera.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But every vow of a widow,.... The Scripture speaks, as Jarchi says, of a widow from marriage, or that has been married, but a widow from espousals (or that has been only espoused), the husband dead, the power is transmitted, and returns to the father; and with respect to such a case, it is said in the Misnah y

"if the father (of such a betrothed person) dies, the power is not transmitted to the husband; but if the husband dies, the power is transmitted to the father; in this case, greater is the power of a father than of an husband; in others, greater is the power of an husband than of a father, because an husband makes void (the vow of) one at age, but a father does not make void (the vow of) such an one:''

and of her that is divorced: from her husband on some account or another; now in each of these cases, the one being loosed from the law of her husband by death, and the other by a bill of divorce, if they vowed,

the vows wherewith they have bound their souls shall stand against her; against either of them, they having none over them to disapprove of, contradict, and make void their vows.

y Nedarim, c. 10. sect. 2.
