2 In case a man makes a vow+ to Jehovah or swears an oath+ to bind a vow of abstinence+ upon his soul, he must not violate his word.+ According to all that has gone out of his mouth he should do.+

5 But if her father has forbidden her on the day of his hearing all her vows or her abstinence vows that she has bound upon her soul, it will not stand, but Jehovah will forgive her, because her father forbade her.+

24 And the men of Israel themselves were hard pressed* on that day, and yet Saul put the people under the pledge of an oath,*+ saying: “Cursed is the man that eats bread before the evening and until I have taken vengeance+ upon my enemies!” And none of the people tasted bread.+
