Numbers 30:10 belongs to the only provision in Scripture for releasing people from vows made to God. That provision governs the relation that vows to God sustain between a man and his wife, just as it governs the relation between a father and his daughter while she is still in her youth in her father's house. The verse itself concerns a wife who vows or binds her soul by a bond with an oath while in her husband's house. It shows under what circumstances a vow so made may become void in relation to her husband, paralleling the case of the youthful daughter in her father's house.
