Numbers 30:13

Her husband may also confirm or disallow any solemn promise or pledge the woman may make for self-denial.

Free Bible Version

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 disallows them as soon as he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid. The Lord will release her from keeping them because her husband has disallowed them.

14But if her husband doesn't ever say a word to her about it, then he is assumed to have confirmed all the solemn promises and pledges she has made.
