And this¹ stone,ª which¹ I have setª° [for] a pillar,ª shall be¹ God'sª house:ª and of all¹ that¹ thou shalt giveª° me I will surely²° give the tenthª° unto thee." {Gen 28:20-22} + "Speakª° unto¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª and sayª° unto¹ them, When¹ either manª or¹ womanª shall separateª° [themselves] to vowª° a vowª of a Nazarite,ª to separateª° [themselves] unto the LORD:ª" {Num 6:2} + "And Israelª vowedª° a vowª unto the LORD,ª and said,ª° If¹ thou wilt indeed²° deliverª°¹ this¹ peopleª into my hand,ª then I will utterly destroyª°¹ their cities.ª" {Num 21:2} + "When¹ thou shalt vowª° a vowª unto the LORDª thy God,ª thou shalt not¹ slackª° to payª° it: for¹ the LORDª thy Godª will surely²° requireª° it of¹¹ thee; and it would be¹ sinª in thee. ... That which is gone outª of thy lipsª thou shalt keepª° and perform;ª° [even] a freewill offering,ª according as¹ thou hast vowedª° unto the LORDª thy God,ª which¹ thou hast promisedª° with thy mouth.ª" {Deu 23:21-23} + "And Jephthahª vowedª° a vowª unto the LORD,ª and said,ª° If¹ thou shalt without fail²° deliverª°¹ the childrenª of Ammonª into mine hands,ª ... Then it shall be,¹ that whatsoever²°¹ cometh forthª° of the doorsª¹ of my houseª to meetª° me, when I returnª° in peaceª from the childrenª¹ of Ammon,ª shall surely be¹ the LORD'S,ª and I will offer it upª° for a burnt offering.ª" {Jdg 11:30-31} + "And it came to pass¹ at the endª¹ of twoª months,ª that she returnedª° unto¹ her father,ª who didª° with her [according] to¹ his vowª which¹ he had vowed:ª° and she¹ knewª° no¹ man.ª And it was¹ a customª in Israel,ª" {Jdg 11:39} + "And she vowedª° a vow,ª and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª if¹ thou wilt indeed²° lookª° on the afflictionª of thine handmaid,ª and rememberª° me, and not¹ forgetª°¹ thine handmaid,ª but wilt giveª° unto thine handmaidª a man²¹ child,ª then I will giveª° him unto the LORDª all¹ the daysª of his life,ª and there shall no¹ razorª comeª° upon¹ his head.ª" {1Sm 1:11} + "Therefore also¹ I¹ have lentª° him to the LORD;ª as long¹ as¹ he livethª he¹ shall be¹ lentª° to the LORD.ª And he worshippedª° the LORDª there.¹" {1Sm 1:28}
a singular vow:
A vow is a religious promise made to God, for the most part with prayer, and paid with thanksgiving. Vows were either of abstinence ("And the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Moses,ª saying,ª° ... And they shall putª°¹ my nameª upon¹ the childrenª of Israel;ª and I¹ will blessª° them." {Num 6:1-27} and "And Mosesª spakeª° unto¹ the headsª of the tribesª concerning the childrenª of Israel,ª saying,ª° This¹ [is] the thingª which¹ the LORDª hath commanded.ª° ... These¹ [are] the statutes,ª which¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses,ª between¹ a manª and his wife,ª between¹ the fatherª and his daughter,ª [being yet] in her youthª in her father'sª house.ª" {Num 30:1-16}), or the devoting of something to the Lord, as sacrifices ("But if¹ the sacrificeª of his offeringª [be] a vow,ª or¹ a voluntary offering,ª it shall be eatenª° the same dayª that he offerethª°¹ his sacrifice:ª and on the morrowª¹ also the remainderª° of¹ it shall be eaten:ª°" {Lev 7:16}), or the value of persons, beasts, houses, or lands, concerning which the law is here given. A man might vow or devote himself, his children, his domestics, his cattle, his goods, etc.; and respecting the redemption of all these, rules are laid down in this chapter. But if, after consecrating these things, he refused to redeem them, they then became the Lord's property forever. The persons continued all their lives devoted to the sanctuary, the goods were sold for the profit of the temple, or the priests; and the animals, if clean, were offered in sacrifice; and if not proper for sacrifice, were sold, and the proceeds devoted to sacred uses. This is a general view of the different laws relative to vows, mentioned in this chapter. "When¹ thou vowestª° a vowª unto God,ª deferª° not¹ to payª° it; for¹ [he hath] no¹ pleasureª in fools:ª payª°¹ that which¹ thou hast vowed.ª° ... Betterª [is it] that¹ thou shouldest not¹ vow,ª° than that thou shouldest vowª°¹¹ and not¹ pay.ª°" {Ecc 5:4-5}
