But if he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. Day. Hebrew “from day to day.” If he has not given his decision on the first day when the vow came to his knowledge, unless he asked for a delay, as some allow, the person was bound to perform what she had promised. Calmet.—Immediately. Hebrew “in the day,” which seems to restrict the power of annulling the vow to a single day, verse 4. It would be unreasonable for the person to be kept long in suspense; and the law of God requires that we should not defer to perform our vows. Eccles. 5:3. 4. Bible.
