Numbers 30:13

As for any vow, or any oath of binding, to humble one’s soul, her husband, may make it stand, or, her husband, may make it of none effect.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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, did make, them, of none effect, on the day he heard, nothing which came forth out of her lips—of her vows, or of the bond of her soul, shall stand,—her husband, made it of none effect, and Yahweh, will pardon her:

14But if her husband do hold his peace, at her, from day to day, then shall he cause all her vows to stand, or all her bonds which are upon her,—cause them to stand, because he held his peace at her, on the day when he heard.
