Context — Laws Concerning Vowsgenerated
Numbers 30:8 outlines the authority of a husband regarding the vows made by his wife. If he hears of her vow and disapproves, he has the power to nullify it. This reflects the cultural context of the time, where marital authority and obligations were significant. The passage emphasizes the importance of vows and the role of divine absolution, showing God's concern for the integrity of promises made to Him.

The Key Word — נִדְרָהּ, nid.Rahgenerated
The word נֶ֫דֶר (neder) means 'vow' and refers to a promise made to God, often involving a binding obligation. It can signify both the act of making a vow and the specific commitment or offering associated with it.
In this verse, נִדְרָהּ indicates the wife's vow that can be nullified if her husband intervenes. The parsing shows it as a noun in the construct state, indicating a direct relationship to the subject of the vow.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, we reference the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the term vow.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is יָנִ֣יא, he will forbid, which governs the action of nullifying vows. The structure includes several clauses, detailing the conditions under which a husband can act and the implications of his actions.
The sentence is complex, with multiple phrases that elaborate on the husband's authority and the LORD's role in forgiving the wife's obligations.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the Hebrew word נִדְרָהּ as στήσονται, indicating a similar understanding of vows but potentially broadening the concept to include a standing or establishment of the vow.
This choice reflects a slight interpretive shift, emphasizing the permanence of the vow unless acted upon by the husband.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Numbers 30:8 explains that if a husband hears about his wife's vow and disapproves, he can nullify it. This means her promise to God can be set aside, and the LORD will forgive her for it. This reflects the authority of husbands in matters of vows and the importance of God's mercy.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that the husband has the authority to invalidate the vow she made, thereby releasing her from the obligation.
The LORD will forgive the wife for her vow if her husband nullifies it, showing His mercy and understanding of the marital relationship.
Vows are significant because they represent binding commitments made to God, and the ability to nullify them highlights the dynamics of authority and responsibility within marriage.
This verse reflects cultural norms of authority in ancient Israel, which differ from modern views on marital equality and individual autonomy.

Simplified
But if her husband disallows them when he finds out about it, then none of her promises or oaths remain valid and the Lord will release her from keeping them.
But if her husband, hearing of it, makes her take it back, then the oath she made and the undertaking she gave without thought will have no force or effect, and she will have the Lord's forgiveness.

Prep | N-ms — Preposition · noun common masculine singular constructHR/Ncmsc
da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:
(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see
Day
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…
The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…
The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.
The Hebrew word שָׁמַע (shama`) means 'to hear' and encompasses a range of meanings including listening, obeying, and proclaiming. It is built from a primitive root and can imply attention and understanding. The entries highlight various grammatical forms, such as Qal, Niphal, Piel, and Hiphil, indicating different nuances of hearing and obeying.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel.
