For your servant made a vow when I lived in Geshur of Aram, saying,‘ If the LORD really brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”

If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

I am the God of Bethel, where you poured oil on the stone marker and made a solemn vow to me. Get up, leave this land, and return to your native land.’”

Indeed, we have all received grace upon grace from his fullness,

I will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows

Making a vow, she pleaded,“ LORD of Armies, if you will take notice of your servant’s affliction, remember and not forget me, and give your servant a son, I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.”

I now give the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is given to the LORD.” Then he worshiped the LORD there.

and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

On the twenty-fourth day of this month the Israelites assembled; they were fasting, wearing sackcloth, and had put dust on their heads.Those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners, and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.While they stood in their places, they read from the book of the law of the LORD their God for a fourth of the day and spent another fourth of the day in confession and worship of the LORD their God.Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the raised platform built for the Levites and cried out loudly to the LORD their God.Then the Levites— Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah— said,“ Stand up. Blessed be the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting.” Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.You, LORD, are the only God. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their stars, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and all the stars of heaven worship you.You, the LORD, are the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and changed his name to Abraham.You found his heart faithful in your sight, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites— to give it to his descendants. You have fulfilled your promise, for you are righteous.You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea.You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors. You made a name for yourself that endures to this day.

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

When it was morning, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.There were more than forty who had formed this plot.These men went to the chief priests and elders and said,“ We have bound ourselves under a solemn curse that we won’t eat anything until we have killed Paul.So now you, along with the Sanhedrin, make a request to the commander that he bring him down to you as if you were going to investigate his case more thoroughly. But, before he gets near, we are ready to kill him.”

I have solemnly sworn to keep your righteous judgments.

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

After staying for some time, Paul said farewell to the brothers and sisters and sailed away to Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.

The LORD spoke to Moses:“ Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When someone makes a special vow to the LORD that involves the assessment of people,if the assessment concerns a male from twenty to sixty years old, your assessment is fifty silver shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel.If the person is a female, your assessment is thirty shekels.If the person is from five to twenty years old, your assessment for a male is twenty shekels and for a female ten shekels.If the person is from one month to five years old, your assessment for a male is five silver shekels, and for a female your assessment is three shekels of silver.If the person is sixty years or more, your assessment is fifteen shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he is to present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford.“ If the vow involves one of the animals that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any of these he gives to the LORD will be holy.He may not replace it or make a substitution for it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.“ If the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.The priest will set its value, whether high or low; the price will be set as the priest makes the assessment for you.If the one who brought it decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value.“ When a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it.But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his.“ If a man consecrates to the LORD any part of a field that he possesses, your assessment of value will be proportional to the seed needed to sow it, at the rate of fifty silver shekels for every six bushels of barley seed.If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your assessment.But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your assessment will be reduced.If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.But if he does not redeem the field or if he has sold it to another man, it is no longer redeemable.When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD like a field permanently set apart; it becomes the priest’s property.“ If a person consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding,then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the LORD.In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner.All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.“ But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the LORD, because a firstborn already belongs to the LORD.If it is one of the unclean livestock, it can be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.“ Nothing that a man permanently sets apart to the LORD from all he owns, whether a person, an animal, or his inherited landholding, can be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is especially holy to the LORD.No person who has been set apart for destruction is to be ransomed; he must be put to death.“ Every tenth of the land’s produce, grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.If a man decides to redeem any part of this tenth, he must add a fifth to its value.Every tenth animal from the herd or flock, which passes under the shepherd’s rod, will be holy to the LORD.He is not to inspect whether it is good or bad, and he is not to make a substitution for it. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute will be holy; they cannot be redeemed.”These are the commands the LORD gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.

God, you have heard my vows; you have given a heritage to those who fear your name.

and the men of Israel were worn out that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath:“ The man who eats food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies is cursed.” So none of the troops tasted any food.

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Better to approach in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they ignorantly do wrong.Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.Just as dreams accompany much labor, so also a fool’s voice comes with many words.When you make a vow to God, don’t delay fulfilling it, because he does not delight in fools. Fulfill what you vow.Better that you do not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.Do not let your mouth bring guilt on you, and do not say in the presence of the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?For many dreams bring futility; so do many words. Therefore, fear God.

The LORD instructed Moses,“ Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When a man or woman makes a special vow, a Nazirite vow, to consecrate himself to the LORD,he is to abstain from wine and beer. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or from beer. He must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.He is not to eat anything produced by the grapevine, from seeds to skin, during the period of his consecration.“ You must not cut his hair throughout the time of his vow of consecration. He may be holy until the time is completed during which he consecrates himself to the LORD; he is to let the hair of his head grow long.He must not go near a dead body during the time he consecrates himself to the LORD.He is not to defile himself for his father or mother, or his brother or sister, when they die, while the mark of consecration to his God is on his head.He is holy to the LORD during the time of consecration.“ If someone suddenly dies near him, defiling his consecrated head, he must shave his head on the day of his purification; he is to shave it on the seventh day.On the eighth day he is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement on behalf of the Nazirite, since he incurred guilt because of the corpse. On that day he is to consecrate his head again.He is to rededicate his time of consecration to the LORD and to bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But do not count the initial period of consecration because it became defiled.“ This is the law of the Nazirite: On the day his time of consecration is completed, he is to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.He is to present an offering to the LORD of one unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, one unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, one unblemished ram as a fellowship offering,along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers coated with oil.“ The priest is to present these before the LORD and sacrifice the Nazirite’s sin offering and burnt offering.He will also offer the ram as a fellowship sacrifice to the LORD, together with the basket of unleavened bread. Then the priest will offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.“ The Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head at the entrance to the tent of meeting, take the hair from his head, and put it on the fire under the fellowship sacrifice.The priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated head.The priest is to present them as a presentation offering before the LORD. It is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

The LORD will make himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the LORD on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.

Jephthah made this vow to the LORD:“ If you in fact hand over the Ammonites to me,whoever comes out the doors of my house to greet me when I return safely from the Ammonites will belong to the LORD, and I will offer that person as a burnt offering.”

Then I will continually sing of your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.

I am obligated by vows to you, God; I will make my thanksgiving sacrifices to you.

Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

Then Israel made a vow to the LORD,“ If you will hand this people over to us, we will completely destroy their cities.”The LORD listened to Israel’s request and handed the Canaanites over to them, and Israel completely destroyed them and their cities. So they named the place Hormah.

Make and keep your vows to the LORD your God; let all who are around him bring tribute to the awe-inspiring one.

I will give praise in the great assembly because of you; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear you.
