NUMBERS 30

LAWS REGARDING VOWS

God explains the difference between men making vows and women making vows. Although this may appear sexist or wrong, the law appears to be protective and grace-filled towards women, allowing them the opportunity to nullify their vows if acted upon quickly. Often, these vows are made towards God in dire situations, and people promise more than they can sustain. When men make these promises, they have to keep them, but women are allowed an opportunity to repeal.

Although women were not granted equal rights during this time, this one example might have served them positively. Either way, God demonstrates His value for women throughout scripture by placing them in important roles that fulfill His purposes and spread His Word.
