And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord:“ If you give the Ammonites into my hands,

Jephthah made a promise to the Lord. Jephthah said,“ Hand the Ammonites over to me.

And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said,“ If you will give the Ammonites into my hand,

Jephthah made this vow to the LORD:“ If you in fact hand over the Ammonites to me,

And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said,“ If You will indeed hand over to me the sons of Ammon,

And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, and said,“ If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands,

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,

Jephthah made this vow to the Lord:“ If You will hand over the Ammonites to me,

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

Then Jacob made this vow:“ If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing,

And she made this vow:“ O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.”

As you enter the house of God, keep your ears open and your mouth shut. It is evil to make mindless offerings to God.Don’t make rash promises, and don’t be hasty in bringing matters before God. After all, God is in heaven, and you are here on earth. So let your words be few.

When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it.

A man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do.“ If a young woman makes a vow to the Lord or a pledge under oath while she is still living at her father’s home,and her father hears of the vow or pledge and does not object to it, then all her vows and pledges will stand.But if her father refuses to let her fulfill the vow or pledge on the day he hears of it, then all her vows and pledges will become invalid. The Lord will forgive her because her father would not let her fulfill them.“ Now suppose a young woman makes a vow or binds herself with an impulsive pledge and later marries.If her husband learns of her vow or pledge and does not object on the day he hears of it, her vows and pledges will stand.But if her husband refuses to accept her vow or impulsive pledge on the day he hears of it, he nullifies her commitments, and the Lord will forgive her.If, however, a woman is a widow or is divorced, she must fulfill all her vows and pledges.“ But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband’s home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge.If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand.But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the Lord will forgive her.So her husband may either confirm or nullify any vows or pledges she makes to deny herself.But if he does not object on the day he hears of it, then he is agreeing to all her vows and pledges.If he waits more than a day and then tries to nullify a vow or pledge, he will be punished for her guilt.”These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter who still lives at home.
