TSK · Numbers 30:2

Then Jacob made a vow, saying,“If God is with me and protects me on this journey I am taking and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,

or when a person swears an oath, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, whether to do evil or to do good, with regard to anything which the individual might speak thoughtlessly in an oath, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has later come to know it and is guilty with regard to one of these oaths–

So Israel made a vow to the LORD and said,“If you will indeed deliver this people into our hand, then we will utterly destroy their cities.”

If she made the vow in her husband’s house or put herself under obligation with an oath,

So Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead. The people made him their leader and commander. Jephthah repeated the terms of the agreement before the LORD in Mizpah.

When he saw her, he ripped his clothes and said,“Oh no! My daughter! You have completely ruined me! You have brought me disaster! I made an oath to the LORD, and I cannot break it.”

You will pray to him and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him.

You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my promises before the LORD’s loyal followers.

He attacks his friends; he breaks his solemn promises to them.

I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you,

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.

I have vowed and solemnly sworn to keep your just regulations.

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it. For God takes no pleasure in fools: Pay what you vow!

Oaths“Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation,‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

“Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘Whoever swears by the temple is bound by nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by the oath.’

The Plot to Kill Paul When morning came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they had killed Paul.

So do not let them persuade you to do this, because more than forty of them are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request.”

Just as it is written,“He has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.”
