“But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.”
But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them — Continued silence over time establishes (or confirms) the vow. If the husband does not object on the day he hears the vow, and continues to remain silent, he has effectively validated her covenant obligation. The passive silence becomes active confirmation.
