Commentary on Numbers 30:5

Theological / Devotional

In the day. That is, as soon as he hears.

Disallowed her. The father’s consent was necessary to make the vow, or pledge, binding. But if on becoming acquainted with the vow he said nothing, then his silence was looked upon as consent. If, however, the father made objection, then the young girl was free of her vow or bond, and under no necessity to carry it out.
