וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כְּכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃{פ}
Moshe spoke to Bnei Yisroel all that Adonoy had commanded him.
And Moshe told the children of Yisra᾽el according to all that the Lord commanded Moshe.
And Moses related (it) to the children of Israel, as all that the L-rd had commanded Moses, [viz. 28:2 (This is stated here to obviate the impression that Moses did not tell it to them but proceeded directly to the section that follows.)]
וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶל־רָאשֵׁ֣י הַמַּטּ֔וֹת לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֣ה הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָֽה׃
Moshe spoke to the tribal leaders of Bnei Yisroel saying: “This is the word that Adonoy has commanded.
And Moshe spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded.
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel [(according them honor by instructing them first, and then instructing the children of Israel (this being stated here specifically in respect to vows though it was the mode for all teachings (see Exodus 34:31-32), in order to teach that the annulment of vows is effected by one expert (in vows), or, in his absence, by three non-experts)], saying: This is the thing that the L-rd has commanded.
אִישׁ֩ כִּֽי־יִדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר לַֽיהֹוָ֗ה אֽוֹ־הִשָּׁ֤בַע שְׁבֻעָה֙ לֶאְסֹ֤ר אִסָּר֙ עַל־נַפְשׁ֔וֹ לֹ֥א יַחֵ֖ל דְּבָר֑וֹ כְּכׇל־הַיֹּצֵ֥א מִפִּ֖יו יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
If a man makes a vow to Adonoy or makes an oath; to initiate a prohibition himself; he may not profane his word. He shall do all that he said.
If a man vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
A man, if he vow a vow to the L-rd [(not to eat something or not to do something)], or if he take an oath to bind a bond upon his soul [i.e., to forbid to himself something which is permitted (but not, to permit to himself something which is forbidden)], he shall not profane his word. According to all that issues from his mouth shall he do.
וְאִשָּׁ֕ה כִּֽי־תִדֹּ֥ר נֶ֖דֶר לַיהֹוָ֑ה וְאָסְרָ֥ה אִסָּ֛ר בְּבֵ֥ית אָבִ֖יהָ בִּנְעֻרֶֽיהָ׃
[But] if a woman makes a vow to Adonoy or obligates herself in her father’s home while still in her youth,
If a woman also vow a vow to the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth;
And a woman, if she vow a vow to the L-rd and bind a bond (see above) in her father's house [(i.e., when she is under her father's authority)], in her maidenhood, [after twelve years and one day, (and not when she is a minor, in which instance her vow is not a vow, nor when she is a bogereth (after maidenhood), in which instance she is not under her father's authority for him to annul her vow)],
וְשָׁמַ֨ע אָבִ֜יהָ אֶת־נִדְרָ֗הּ וֶֽאֱסָרָהּ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽסְרָ֣ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֔הּ וְהֶחֱרִ֥ישׁ לָ֖הּ אָבִ֑יהָ וְקָ֙מוּ֙ כׇּל־נְדָרֶ֔יהָ וְכׇל־אִסָּ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָ֥ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ יָקֽוּם׃
and her father hears her vow or her self-imposed prohibition and remains silent, then all her vows shall stand and the self-imposed prohibition shall stand.
and her father hear her vow, and her bond with which she has bound herself, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound herself shall stand.
And her father hear her vow and her bond wherewith she bound her soul, and her father be silent to her, then all of her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
וְאִם־הֵנִ֨יא אָבִ֣יהָ אֹתָהּ֮ בְּי֣וֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ֒ כׇּל־נְדָרֶ֗יהָ וֶֽאֱסָרֶ֛יהָ אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָ֥ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ לֹ֣א יָק֑וּם וַֽיהֹוָה֙ יִֽסְלַח־לָ֔הּ כִּי־הֵנִ֥יא אָבִ֖יהָ אֹתָֽהּ׃
But if her father restrained her on the day he heard it, then all her vows and self imposed prohibitions shall not stand. Adonoy will forgive her because her father has restrained her.
But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears; not any of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound herself, shall stand: and the Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
And if her father constrain her [i.e., if he annuls her vow] on the day that he hears, then all her vows and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall not stand, and the L-rd shall forgive her, for her father has constrained her. [(Scripture speaks of a woman whose husband, unknown to her, had annulled a vow of Naziritism that he had heard her make, and who had violated her vow by drinking wine or by becoming unclean to the dead. Though the vow is annulled, she requires forgiveness. (How much more so, one whose vow was not annulled!)]
וְאִם־הָי֤וֹ תִֽהְיֶה֙ לְאִ֔ישׁ וּנְדָרֶ֖יהָ עָלֶ֑יהָ א֚וֹ מִבְטָ֣א שְׂפָתֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָסְרָ֖ה עַל־נַפְשָֽׁהּ׃
If she is [married] to a man, and her vows were upon herself, or an utterance of self-imposed prohibitions,
And if she be married to a husband, when she vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, with which she bound herself;
And if she be [betrothed] to a man, and her vows [that she vowed in her father's house] be upon her, [her father not having heard them, so that they were neither annulled nor confirmed, (annulment being effected only jointly, by her father and her betrothed)], or the utterance of her lips wherewith she bound her soul,
וְשָׁמַ֥ע אִישָׁ֛הּ בְּי֥וֹם שׇׁמְע֖וֹ וְהֶחֱרִ֣ישׁ לָ֑הּ וְקָ֣מוּ נְדָרֶ֗יהָ וֶֽאֱסָרֶ֛הָ אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָ֥ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ יָקֻֽמוּ׃
and her husband heard about them and remained silent on the day he heard, then her vows shall stand, and the self-imposed prohibitions shall stand.
and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound herself shall stand.
And her husband [i.e., her betrothed] hear, on the day that he hear, and he be silent to her, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand.
וְ֠אִ֠ם בְּי֨וֹם שְׁמֹ֣עַ אִישָׁהּ֮ יָנִ֣יא אוֹתָהּ֒ וְהֵפֵ֗ר אֶת־נִדְרָהּ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָלֶ֔יהָ וְאֵת֙ מִבְטָ֣א שְׂפָתֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָסְרָ֖ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֑הּ וַיהֹוָ֖ה יִֽסְלַֽח־לָֽהּ׃
But, if on the day her husband hears about it, he restrains her, he then annuls her vow which was upon her, and self-imposed verbal prohibitions, and Adonoy will forgive her.
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul, of no effect: and the Lord shall forgive her.
And if on the day that her husband hear, he constrain her and annul [(jointly, with her father)] her vow which is upon her and the utterance of her lips wherewith she bound her soul, then the L-rd shall forgive her.
וְנֵ֥דֶר אַלְמָנָ֖ה וּגְרוּשָׁ֑ה כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָ֥ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ יָק֥וּם עָלֶֽיהָ׃
The vow of a widow or a divorced woman—everything she prohibited for herself shall remain incumbent upon her.
But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
And the vow of a widow [from marriage (as opposed to a widow from betrothal, in which instance she returns to her father's authority)] or of a divorced woman — everything wherewith she binds her soul shall stand with her.
וְאִם־בֵּ֥ית אִישָׁ֖הּ נָדָ֑רָה אֽוֹ־אָסְרָ֥ה אִסָּ֛ר עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ בִּשְׁבֻעָֽה׃
But, if she took the vow in her husband’s home, or has taken a self-imposed prohibitions upon herself, with an oath,
And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by a bond with an oath;
And if in the house of her husband [in marriage (as opposed to betrothal)] she vowed, or bound her soul with a bond by swearing,
וְשָׁמַ֤ע אִישָׁהּ֙ וְהֶחֱרִ֣שׁ לָ֔הּ לֹ֥א הֵנִ֖יא אֹתָ֑הּ וְקָ֙מוּ֙ כׇּל־נְדָרֶ֔יהָ וְכׇל־אִסָּ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָ֥ה עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖הּ יָקֽוּם׃
and her husband heard and remained silent, [and] did not restrain her, then all her vows shall stand, and all her self-imposed prohibitions shall stand.
and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
And her husband heard and was silent to her and did not constrain her, then all of her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
וְאִם־הָפֵר֩ יָפֵ֨ר אֹתָ֥ם׀אִישָׁהּ֮ בְּי֣וֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ֒ כׇּל־מוֹצָ֨א שְׂפָתֶ֧יהָ לִנְדָרֶ֛יהָ וּלְאִסַּ֥ר נַפְשָׁ֖הּ לֹ֣א יָק֑וּם אִישָׁ֣הּ הֲפֵרָ֔ם וַיהֹוָ֖ה יִֽסְלַֽח־לָֽהּ׃
But, if her husband annuls them on the day he hears them, then, whatever emanates from her lips regarding her vows and self-imposed prohibitions shall not stand. Her husband has annulled them, and Adonoy will forgive her.
But if her husband made them void on the day he heard them; then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of the soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and the Lord shall forgive her.
And if her husband annul them on the day of his hearing, then every utterance of her lips for her vows and for binding her soul shall not stand; her husband has annulled them and the L-rd will forgive her.
כׇּל־נֵ֛דֶר וְכׇל־שְׁבֻעַ֥ת אִסָּ֖ר לְעַנֹּ֣ת נָ֑פֶשׁ אִישָׁ֥הּ יְקִימֶ֖נּוּ וְאִישָׁ֥הּ יְפֵרֶֽנּוּ׃
Every vow and every oath of self-denial, her husband can [either] let it stand, or her husband can annul it.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may let it stand, or her husband may make it void.
Every vow and every oath of binding to afflict the soul, her husband shall confirm it and her husband shall annul it.
וְאִם־הַחֲרֵשׁ֩ יַחֲרִ֨ישׁ לָ֥הּ אִישָׁהּ֮ מִיּ֣וֹם אֶל־יוֹם֒ וְהֵקִים֙ אֶת־כׇּל־נְדָרֶ֔יהָ א֥וֹ אֶת־כׇּל־אֱסָרֶ֖יהָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָלֶ֑יהָ הֵקִ֣ים אֹתָ֔ם כִּי־הֶחֱרִ֥שׁ לָ֖הּ בְּי֥וֹם שׇׁמְעֽוֹ׃
But, if her husband remains silent from one day to the next, then he has upheld all her vows or all her prohibitions that she has assumed. He has upheld them because he remained silent on the day he heard.
But if her husband hold his peace at her from day to day; then he confirms all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirms them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
And if her husband be silent to her from day to day [i.e., until it gets dark], then he has confirmed all of her vows or all of her bonds which are upon her. He has confirmed them for he was silent to her on the day of his hearing.
וְאִם־הָפֵ֥ר יָפֵ֛ר אֹתָ֖ם אַחֲרֵ֣י שׇׁמְע֑וֹ וְנָשָׂ֖א אֶת־עֲוֺנָֽהּ׃
If he annuls them after having heard them, he must bear her transgression.”
But if he should annul them after he has heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
And if he annul them after having heard [and confirmed them (even on the same day)], then he shall bear her sin [i.e., he takes her place (for punishment)].
אֵ֣לֶּה הַֽחֻקִּ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהֹוָה֙ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֔ה בֵּ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ לְאִשְׁתּ֑וֹ בֵּֽין־אָ֣ב לְבִתּ֔וֹ בִּנְעֻרֶ֖יהָ בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיהָ׃{פ}
These are the statutes that Adonoy commanded Moshe, regarding a man and his wife, a father and his daughter in her youth, while in her father’s house.
These are the statutes, which the Lord commanded Moshe, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.
These are the statutes which the L-rd commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, in her maidenhood (in) the house of her father.
