And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin. ⁷ And if his means is not sufficient for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that by which he has sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to LORD, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. ⁸ And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it apart. ⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. ¹⁰ And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven. ¹¹ But if his means is not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that by which he has sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering.

It is a sin offering. ¹³ And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remnant shall be the priest's, as the meal offering.

¹ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property, ² and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land? ⁴ While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God. ⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things. ⁶ And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him. ⁷ And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened. ⁸ And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much. ⁹ But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out. ¹⁰ And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired.

¹ And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which LORD has commanded. ² When a man vows a vow to LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. ³ Also when a woman vows a vow to LORD, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, ⁴ and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father remains silent at her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. ⁵ But if her father disallows her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand. And LORD will forgive her, because her father disallowed her. ⁶ And if she is married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, ⁷ and her husband hears it, and remains silent at her in the day that he hears it, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. ⁸ But if her husband disallows her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. And LORD will forgive her. ⁹ But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, even everything with which she has bound her soul shall stand against her. ¹⁰ And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, ¹¹ and her husband heard it, and remained silent at her, and did not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. ¹² But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and LORD will forgive her. ¹³ Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. ¹⁴ But if her husband altogether remains silent at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her. He has established them, because he remained silent at her in the day that he heard them. ¹⁵ But if he shall make them null and void after he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. ¹⁶ These are the statutes, which LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth in her father's house.

² When a man vows a vow to LORD, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

For LORD thy God will surely require it of thee, and it would be sin in thee. ²² But if thou shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. ²³ That which has gone out of thy lips thou shall observe and do, according as thou have vowed to LORD thy God, a freewill offering, which thou have promised with thy mouth.

⁴ When thou vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which thou vow. ⁵ Better is it that thou should not vow, than that thou should vow and not pay. ⁶ Do not allow thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin, nor say thou before the agent, that is was an error. Why should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
