Verse 16<\/span>. These are the statutes<\/B><\/I>] It is very probable that this law, like that concerning the succession of daughters<\/I>, (Nu 27:1-11<\/span>), rose from the exigency of some particular case that had just then occurred.<\/P> <\/P> Making vows, in almost any case, is a dangerous business; they seldom do any good, and often much evil. He who does not feel himself bound to do what is fit, right<\/I>, and just<\/I>, from the standing testimony of God’s word, is not likely to do it from any obligation he may lay upon his own<\/I> conscience. If God’s word<\/I> lack weight with him, his own will prove lighter than vanity. Every man who professes the Christian religion is under the most solemn<\/I> obligation<\/I> to devote body, soul, and spirit to God, not only to the utmost extent of his powers, but also as long as he exists. Being baptized<\/I>, and receiving the sacrament<\/I> of the Lord’s Supper, are additional ratifications of the great, general, Christian vow; but every true follower of Christ should always remember, and frequently renew, his covenant with God.<\/P><\/p>\n These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses between a man and his wife<\/strong>,…. Relating to vows made by the wife, and confirmed or disannulled by the husband: Aben Ezra adds, if she is at age or in puberty, understanding it of a married and not a betrothed wife:<\/p>\n between the father and his daughter<\/strong>; if she is not at age, as the same writer observes; for if she is at age he has nothing to do with her vows:<\/p>\n [being yet] in her youth<\/strong>; not at age, being not twelve years and one day old:<\/p>\n in her father’s house<\/strong>; in his power and jurisdiction, and at his disposal, and so could make her vows void or firm, as he pleased: this power of ratifying or disannulling vows an husband had over his wife, and a father over his daughter, to prevent imprudent and extravagant vows, and the too frequent use of them, the consequences of which might be bad in families.<\/p>\n Num 30:16<\/span>, concluding formula.<\/p>\n Num 30:16<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>These are the statutes, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> These statutes were ordained for the good of families, for the support of order, economy, and necessary tranquillity, and for the prevention of superstition and vice. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n BLESSED JESUS! do thou undertake for me, in all my earnest desires and strongest resolutions, to love and serve the GOD of my salvation, for otherwise I am well assured, that all my strength in the hour of trial will prove to be perfect weakness. I can do nothing, dearest LORD, nothing in myself but sin; but I can do all things if thou art my strength and confidence; and therefore, never can I trust myself too little, or my Saviour too much.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n But may I not see, in this merciful exemption from rash vows ill undertaken and unfaithfully performed, a gracious exemption for the infirmities of thy people? Surely JESUS is the everlasting Father of his people: and surely thou art no less their husband also. Do thou then, blessed LORD! confirm and strengthen my soul by thy grace, to perform all I vow in thy strength, and enable me to accomplish it. And do thou rescind and do away the obligation to perform everything unprofitable to be done, by thy sovereign power, and right of dominion over me. For I trust, that by thy HOLY SPIRIT thou hast begotten me again to a new life; by which I am thine as thy child by adoption and grace: and that thou hast betrothed me to thyself forever, by which my Maker is mine husband, the LORD of Hosts is his name. And for the dedicating myself to thy service forever, LORD enable me so to vow, and so to perform, that I may say with one of old, I will pay my vows unto the LORD, in the presence of all his people; even in the courts of the LORD’S house.<\/p>\n Num 5:29, Num 5:30, Lev 11:46, Lev 11:47, Lev 13:59, Lev 14:54-57, Lev 15:32, Lev 15:33 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 31:21 – General<\/p>\n These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father’s house.
