4 “‘Or in case a soul swears to the extent of speaking thoughtlessly+ with his lips to do evil+ or to do good as respects anything at all that the man might speak thoughtlessly in a sworn statement,+ although it had been hidden from him, and yet he himself has come to know it, then he has become guilty as respects one of these things.

2 In case a man makes a vow+ to Jehovah or swears an oath+ to bind a vow of abstinence+ upon his soul, he must not violate his word.+ According to all that has gone out of his mouth he should do.+

21 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizʹpah,+ saying: “Not a man of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”+

25 It is a snare when earthling man has rashly cried out, “Holy!”+ and after vows+ [he is disposed] to make examination.+

6 Do not allow your mouth to cause your flesh to sin,*+ neither say before the angel*+ that it was a mistake.+ Why should the [true] God become indignant on account of your voice and have to wreck the work of your hands?+
