Numbers 30 from Scroll 4Q23 Leviticus-Numbersa 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 “Also, when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh and binds herself by a pledge, being in her father’s house, in her youth, [..] 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.
Numbers 30 from Scroll 4Q27 Numbersb 1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded. 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. [..] 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 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 “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 and her husband hears it, and
says nothing to her[1]
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 But if her husband forbids her in the day that
he hears it, then he makes void all
her vow [..] 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 But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.” 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. |
How to read these pages: • The
translation to the left is based on the World English Bible. Words in regular
black font are words in the scrolls matching the traditional text for that
passage. • Words
in italics cannot be seen in the scroll, since the scroll is
fragmentary. These words are supplied for readability by the World English
Bible translation. • Words
present in the scroll but with some letters unreadable or missing are in blue
like this: blue. One Hebrew word often is
translated into multiple English words, and when this occurs, all the English
words are in blue. • Words
present in the scroll but with spelling differences that do not affect the
meaning are in green like this: green. This
is common in Hebrew. • If
the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the traditional
text that are missing from the text of the scroll are marked through in red
