29:40 Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
30:1 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded.
30:2 When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
30:3 “Also when a woman vows a vow to Yahweh, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,
30:4 and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and Yahweh will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
30:6 “If she has a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul,
30:7 and her husband hears it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and Yahweh will forgive her.
30:9 “But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.
30:10 “If she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,
30:11 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn’t disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and Yahweh will forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
30:15 But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
30:16 These are the statutes, which Yahweh commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house.

Psalm 95

95:1 Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
95:2 Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!
95:3 For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.
95:4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
95:5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
95:6 Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
95:7 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
95:8 Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
95:9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
95:10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.”
95:11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
