6But if on the day her father should hear and disapprove all her vows and obligations with which she bound her soul, then her vows shall not stand; therefore the Lord will consider her blameless, because her father disapproved.

14Every vow and binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall establish, or her husband shall cancel.

15But if her husband should remain silent for more than a single day, then he shall establish all her vows for her; and he shall establish for her the obligations binding her, because he remained silent regarding her on the day he heard them.

16But if he should cancel them the day after he heard them, then he shall bear her guilt.'
