Schlachter Bibel (1951)
Wenn aber ihr Vater an dem Tage, da er es hört, ihr wehrt, so gilt kein Gelübde und keine Verpflichtung, die sie auf ihre Seele gebunden hat. Und der Herr wird es ihr vergeben, weil ihr Vater ihr gewehrt hat.
Elberfelder Bibel (1905)
(H30:7) Und wenn sie etwa eines Mannes wird, und ihre Gelübde sind auf ihr, oder ein unbesonnener Ausspruch ihrer Lippen, wozu sie ihre Seele verbunden hat,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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.
