But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them, etc.] Declaring they were contrary to his mind and will, he disapproved of them, and forbid the carrying them into execution: then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand; though her husband be dead, or she be divorced from him: her husband hath made them void, and the Lord shall forgive her: she will neither incur his displeasure for not fulfilling her vow, nor have any punishment inflicted on her: the Targum of Jonathan is, “if her husband makes them void, and she knows it not and transgresses, it shall be forgiven her by the Lord.”
