Numbers 30:13

Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.

Berean Standard Bible

In The King James Version

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

In Context

12But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.

14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.
