⁴ If a woman, being young and under the authority of her father, takes an oath to the Lord or gives an undertaking;

^{5 Ref} If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

^{6 Ref} But if her father, hearing of it, makes her take back her word, then the oaths or the undertakings she has given will have no force; and she will have forgiveness from the Lord, because her oath was broken by her father.

⁷ And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

^{8 Ref} If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.
