Numbers 30

²And the leaders of Israel, the heads of their families, presented an offering. These men were the tribal leaders who had supervised the registration.

¹³Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”

¹⁴And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”

⁴And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.

⁵These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

¹⁷“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

¹⁸Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

²⁵So Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

¹⁴Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

¹⁴I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people.

²⁷You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

⁴When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow.

⁵It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.

¹²When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

¹³I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

¹⁴the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.

¹⁰For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

¹¹But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

⁴For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

⁵But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’

⁶For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

¹²Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

¹⁶To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

³⁴Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

²²Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.

⁴The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

³⁷and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

²For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

⁷A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.

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.

²⁵The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the Lord a food offering and a sin offering, presented before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

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.

²⁸And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

³But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

³But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

¹³Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.

⁵Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord?

³²It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”

²⁹This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—

¹Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives

²when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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.

¹“If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.

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.

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.

⁵⁹This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”

³²This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean,

³³of a woman in her menstrual period, of any male or female who has a discharge, and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.’”

⁵⁴This is the law for any infectious skin disease, for a scaly outbreak,

⁵⁵for mildew in clothing or in a house,

²⁹This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,

³⁰or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.

⁴⁶This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.

⁴⁷You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”
