Concise Complete
Vows to be kept. (1,2) The cases wherein vows might be
released. (3-16)
Verses 1-2 No man
can be bound by his own promise to do what he is already, by the Divine precept,
forbidden to do. In other matters the command is, that he shall not break his
words, through he may change his mind.
Verses 3-16 Two
cases of vows are determined. The case of a daughter in her father's house. When
her vow comes to his knowledge, it is in his power either to confirm it or do it
away. The law is plain in the case of a wife. If her husband allows her vow,
though only by silence, it stands. If he disallows it, her obligation to her
husband takes place of it; for to him she ought to be in subjection, as unto the
Lord. The Divine law consults the good order of families. It is fit that every
man should bear rule in his own house, and have his wife and children in
subjection; rather than that this great rule should be broken, or any
encouragement be given to inferior relations to break those bonds asunder, God
releases the obligation even of a solemn vow. So much does religion secure the
welfare of all societies; and in it the families of the earth have a blessing.
