Numbers 30

The reading today was quite short, and covered only one topic: vows made to God. In short, vows by a man or widowed woman are binding, but those of a woman who is under the care of her father or a husband can be nullified by him when he finds out (if he chooses). This lends further weight to the idea that a man is the head of his household - over both a wife and children - in Israelite culture.
