40So Moses spoke all this to the Israelites just as the LORD had commanded him.

Laws about Vows

1Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:2If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.

3And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,4and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.5But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.

6If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,7and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.8But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.

9Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.

10If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,11and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.12But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.13Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.14But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.15But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”

16These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.

Vengeance on Midian

1And the LORD said to Moses,2“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”

3So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.4Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”5So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.6And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.7Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.8Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.9The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.10Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,11and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.12They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.13And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.14But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.15“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.16“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
