Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και ελάλησεν ο Μωϋσής προς τους άρχοντας των φυλών των υιών Ισραήλ, λέγων, Ούτος είναι ο λόγος τον οποίον προσέταξεν ο Κύριος·
1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.
2 Όταν άνθρωπός τις κάμη ευχήν προς τον Κύριον ή ομόση όρκον, ώστε να δέση την ψυχήν αυτού με δεσμόν, δεν θέλει παραβή τον λόγον αυτού θέλει κάμει κατά πάντα όσα εξήλθον εκ του στόματος αυτού.
2 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears 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.
3 Εάν δε γυνή τις κάμη ευχήν προς τον Κύριον και δέση εαυτήν με δεσμόν εν τη οικία του πατρός αυτής εις την νεότητα αυτής,
3 “Also, when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth,
4 και ακούση ο πατήρ αυτής την ευχήν αυτής και τον δεσμόν αυτής διά του οποίου έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής και σιωπήση προς αυτήν ο πατήρ αυτής, τότε πάσαι αι ευχαί αυτής θέλουσι μένει και πας δεσμός, διά του οποίου έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής, θέλει μένει.
4 and her father hears her vow and her pledge with which she has bound her soul, and her father says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
5 Εάν δε ο πατήρ αυτής δεν συγκατανεύση εις αυτήν, καθ' ην ημέραν ακούση, πάσαι αι ευχαί αυτής ή οι δεσμοί αυτής, διά των οποίων έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής, δεν θέλουσι μένει και ο Κύριος θέλει συγχωρήσει αυτήν, διότι ο πατήρ αυτής δεν συγκατένευσεν εις αυτήν.
5 But if her father forbids her in the day that he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. Yahweh will forgive her, because her father has forbidden her.
6 Εάν όμως έχουσα άνδρα ηυχήθη ή επρόφερέ τι διά των χειλέων αυτής, διά του οποίου έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής,
6 “If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips with which she has bound her soul,
7 και ήκουσεν ο ανήρ αυτής και εσιώπησε προς αυτήν, καθ' ην ημέραν ήκουσε, τότε αι ευχαί αυτής θέλουσι μένει και οι δεσμοί αυτής, διά των οποίων έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής, θέλουσι μένει.
7 and her husband hears it, and says nothing to her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her pledges with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
8 Εάν όμως ο ανήρ αυτής δεν συγκατένευσεν εις αυτήν, καθ' ην ημέραν ήκουσε, τότε θέλει ακυρώσει την ευχήν αυτής, την οποίαν ηυχήθη, και ό,τι επρόφερε διά των χειλέων αυτής, διά του οποίου έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής· και ο Κύριος θέλει συγχωρήσει αυτήν.
8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. Yahweh will forgive her.
9 Πάσα όμως ευχή χήρας ή γυναικός αποβεβλημένης, διά της οποίας έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής, θέλει μένει επ' αυτήν.
9 “But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her.
10 Και εάν ηυχήθη εν τη οικία του ανδρός αυτής ή έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής με δεσμόν όρκου,
10 “If she vowed in her husband’s house or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
11 και ήκουσεν ο ανήρ αυτής και εσιώπησε προς αυτήν και δεν ηναντιώθη εις αυτήν, τότε πάσαι αι ευχαί αυτής θέλουσι μένει και πάντες οι δεσμοί, διά των οποίων έδεσε την ψυχήν αυτής, θέλουσι μένει.
11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her and didn’t disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge with which she bound her soul shall stand.
12 Εάν όμως ο ανήρ αυτής ηκύρωσεν αυτά ρητώς, καθ' ην ημέραν ήκουσε, παν ό,τι εξήλθεν εκ των χειλέων αυτής περί των ευχών αυτής και περί του δεσμού της ψυχής αυτής δεν θέλει μένει· ο ανήρ αυτής ηκύρωσεν αυτά και ο Κύριος θέλει συγχωρήσει αυτήν.
12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made them void. Yahweh will forgive her.
13 Πάσαν ευχήν και πάντα όρκον υποχρεόνοντα εις κακουχίαν ψυχής ο ανήρ αυτής δύναται να επικυρώση ή ο ανήρ αυτής δύναται να ακυρώση·
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 εάν όμως ο ανήρ αυτής σιωπήση διόλου προς αυτήν από ημέρας εις ημέραν, τότε επικυρόνει πάσας τας ευχάς αυτής ή πάντας τους δεσμούς αυτής, οίτινες είναι επ' αυτήν· αυτός επεκύρωσεν αυτά, διότι εσιώπησε προς αυτήν, καθ' ην ημέραν ήκουσεν.
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are on her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her in the day that he heard them.
15 Εάν όμως ηκύρωσεν αυτά ρητώς αφού ήκουσε, τότε θέλει βαστάσει την αμαρτίαν αυτής.
15 But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
16 Ταύτα είναι τα διατάγματα, τα οποία προσέταξε Κύριος εις τον Μωϋσήν, μεταξύ ανδρός και γυναικός αυτού και μεταξύ πατρός και θυγατρός αυτού εν τη νεότητι αυτής εν τη οικία του πατρός αυτής.
16 These are the statutes which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But what means, "Thou shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths?" It is this, "thou shalt be true in swearing." "But I say unto you, swear not at all." Next, to lead them farther away from swearing by God, He saith, "Neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne, nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of His …
