Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying,“ None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,and said,“ O Lord God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?”So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.The children of Israel said,“ Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the Lord?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the Lord at Mizpah, saying,“ He shall surely be put to death.”And the children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said,“ One tribe is cut off from Israel today.What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”

If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.“ Or if a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by some agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she has bound herself, and her father holds his peace, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound herself shall stand.But if her father overrules her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her agreements by which she has bound herself shall stand; and the Lord will release her, because her father overruled her.

And Jacob their father said to them,“ You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me.”Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying,“ Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”But he said,“ My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”

Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool’s voice is known by his many words.When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed—Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

‘ Nevertheless no devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the Lord.No person under the ban, who may become doomed to destruction among men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death.
