Context of Numbers 30:5
3If a woman also vow a vow to Jehovah, and bind herself by a bond, in her father's house in her youth, 4and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall be silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
