Numbers 30:13

Context

30:13 “Any vow or sworn obligation that would bring affliction to her, 1  her husband can confirm or nullify. 2 

1 tn The sentence uses the infinitive construct לְעַנֹּת (lÿannot, “to afflict”), which is the same word used in the instructions for the day of atonement in which people are to afflict themselves (their souls). The case here may be that the woman would take a religious vow on such an occasion to humble herself, to mortify her flesh, to abstain from certain things, perhaps even sexual relations within marriage.

2 tn Heb “or her husband can nullify.”
