Numbers 30:12
Context30:12 But if her husband clearly nullifies 3 them when he hears them, then whatever she says 4 by way of vows or obligations will not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the Lord will release her from them.
1 tn The pronoun is emphatic – “but you, if you have gone astray.”
2 tn This is an example of the rhetorical device known as aposiopesis, or “sudden silence.” The sentence is broken off due to the intensity or emphasis of the moment. The reader is left to conclude what the sentence would have said.
3 tn The verb is the imperfect tense in the conditional clause. It is intensified with the infinitive absolute, which would have the force of saying that he nullified them unequivocally, or he made them null and void.
4 tn Heb whatever proceeds from her lips.”
