Numbers 30:1
_ _ Numbers 30:1-16. Vows are not to be broken.
_ _ This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded — The subject of this chapter relates to vowing, which seems to have been an ancient usage, allowed by the law to remain, and by which some people declared their intention of offering some gift on the altar or abstaining from particular articles of meat or drink, of observing a private fast, or doing something to the honor or in the service of God, over and above what was authoritatively required. In Numbers 29:39, mention was made of “vows and freewill offerings,” and it is probable, from the explanatory nature of the rules laid down in this chapter, that these were given for the removal of doubts and difficulties which conscientious persons had felt about their obligation to perform their vows in certain circumstances that had arisen. |
Numbers 30:1-2
_ _ This law was delivered to the heads of the tribes that they might instruct those who were under their charge, explain the law to them, give then necessary cautions, and call them to account, if there were occasion, for the breach of their vows. Perhaps the heads of the tribes had, upon some emergency of this kind, consulted Moses, and desired by him to know the mind of God, and here they are told it: This is the thing which the Lord has commanded concerning vows, and it is a command still in force.
_ _ 1. The case supposed is that a person vows a vow unto the Lord, making God a party to the promise, and designing his honour and glory in it. The matter of the vow is supposed to be something lawful: no man can be by his own promise bound to do that which he is already by the divine precept prohibited from doing. Yet it is supposed to be something which, in such and such measures and degrees, was not a necessary duty antecedent to the vow. A person might vow to bring such and such sacrifices at certain times, to give such and such a sum or such a proportion in alms, to forbear such meats and drinks which the law allowed, to fast and afflict the soul (which is specified Numbers 30:13) at other times besides the day of atonement. And many similar vows might be made in an extraordinary heat of holy zeal, in humiliation for some sin committed or for the prevention of sin, in the pursuit of some mercy desired or in gratitude for some mercy received. It is of great use to make such vows as these, provided they be made in sincerity with due caution. Vows (say the Jewish doctors) are the hedge of separation, that is, a fence to religion. He that vows is here said to bind his soul with a bond. It is a vow to God, who is a spirit, and to him the soul, with all its powers, must be bound. A promise to man is a bond upon the estate, but a promise to God is a bond upon the soul. Our sacramental vows, by which we are bound to no more than what was before our duty, and which neither father nor husband can disannul, are bonds upon the soul, and by them we must feel ourselves bound out from all sin and bound up to the whole will of God. Our occasional vows concerning that which before was in our own power (Acts 5:4), when they are made, are bonds upon the soul likewise. 2. The command given is that these vows be conscientiously performed: He shall not break his word, though afterwards he may change his mind, but he shall do according to what he has said. Margin, He shall not profane his word. Vowing is an ordinance of God; if we vow in hypocrisy we profane that ordinance: it is plainly determined, Better not vow than vow and not pay, Ecclesiastes 5:5. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. His promises to us are yea and amen, let not ours to him be yea and nay. |
Numbers 30:1
And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes (a) concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
(a) Because they might declare them to the Israelites. |
Numbers 1:4- 16 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers. ... These [ were] the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
Numbers 7:2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who [ were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
Numbers 34:17- 28 These [are] the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ... And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Exodus 18:25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Deuteronomy 1:13- 17 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. ... Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [ but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [ is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [ it] unto me, and I will hear it.
