| Lesson 32: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In the New Testament: Woman’s Covenant with God 2/23/2014 by turtle Numbers 30:1-16 KJV (1) And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. (2) If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. (3) If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; (4) And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. (5) But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. (6) And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; (7) And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. (8) But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her. (9) But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. (10) And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; (11) And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. (12) But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. (13) Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. (14) But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. (15) But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. (16) These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house. Some laws today seem not to apply to our society, this passage is one of them. Women that have covenant with God is a covenant between God and that woman. Yet women were to made vows to God or a pledge to do something for God it was her father’s responsibility to oversee, that it was done especially if it was in her youth. If the father felt it was to great a vow for the girl then she could break it. Same with the vow a women made to God who was married. She had no obligation to keep it, but if the husband allowed it then it was to be kept. Hannah gave her first born to God. Her only request of God upon doing so was to enable her to have a son. The Priest Eli spoke that God would honor her prayer. Her husband would loose the raising of a son because of his wife vow to God. However this could of gone badly for Hannah, but her husband loved her enough to honor her. Oath and promise in marriage given at the marriage is to honor one’s husband. To disgrace a husband is to bring reproach to one’s spouse. The husband would take on the burden of the sin of the woman. That not true in today’s world. Everyone is responsible for themselves and their vows to God. What the laws of vows do is makes one more aware of the importance of decisions and vows one makes to God today. Jesus taught anyone making a vow at the altar and did not kept it, it was sin. Individuals were responsible for their own sin. No one else could be responsible for it. Beware aware when you pray what you ask God for and beware of what you can not do and can do for God. Sometimes what you desire is not always what is possible or feasible. God knows what can be done, seek His guidance and will. Dear Heavenly Father help us to make our vows to you at the altar with understanding our ability might not always match our desire. You know our abilities, our inabilities and your power within us to accomplish a vow made to you. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
