“If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.”
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth — The foundation of vow law is absolute: a man's word is binding. Once a man utters a vow or oath, he is bound by his word. Breaking a vow breaks covenant. This principle underpins the entire moral order: words have power and consequence. The second generation must learn that covenant language creates obligation.
