Discovery BoxNumbers 30:3-4 
Context30:3 “If a young 1 woman who is still living 2 in her father’s house makes a vow to the Lord or places herself under an obligation, 30:4 and her father hears of her vow or the obligation to which she has pledged herself, and her father remains silent about her, 3 then all her vows will stand, 4 and every obligation to which she has pledged herself will stand.
Numbers 30:10
Context30:10 If she made the vow in her husband’s house or put herself under obligation with an oath,
1 tn The qualification comes at the end of the verse, and simply says “in her youth.”
2 tn The Hebrew text just has “in her father’s house” and not “who is still living,” but that is the meaning of the line.
3 tn The intent of this expression is that he does not object to the vow.
4 tn The verb קוּם (qum) is best translated “stand” here, but the idea with it is that what she vows is established as a genuine oath with the father’s approval (or acquiescence).
