If a soul, that is, man, sinneth, and heareth the voice of an oath, and is witness, that is, required to bear witnessing of a thing that he knoweth, for either he saw, either is witting, if he showeth not, but hideth the truth, he shall bear his sin.
Soothly if the husband against-said anon, she shall not be holden guilty of the promise, for her husband against-said it anon, and the Lord shall be merciful to her.
That if the husband heareth it, and he is still, and delayeth the sentence in[to] the tother day, she shall yield whatever thing she avowed and promised, for he was still, anon as he heard.
These be the laws, which the Lord ordained to Moses, betwixt the husband and the wife, betwixt the father and the daughter, which is yet in the age of a young damsel, or that yet dwelleth in her father’s house unmarried.
Forsooth if her father against-said, anon as he heard, both [the] vows, and her oaths shall be void, and she shall not be holden bound to the promise, for her father against-said it.
But if the husband heareth it, and anon against-saith, and maketh void all her promises, and words by which she bound her soul, the Lord shall be merciful to her.
