Numbers 30:1
英文原文
The regulations respecting vows appropriately follow those given respecting sacrifices, since a large proportion of vows would always relate to the presentation of such offerings. Rules had already been given Leviticus 27 for the estimation of things vowed to God. It is probable that this fresh legislation dealing especially with vows made by persons in a state of tutelage, was occasioned by some case of practical difficulty that had recently arisen; and it is addressed by Moses to "the heads of the tribes" Numbers 30:1, who would in their judicial capacity have to determine questions on these subjects.
There is no provision in the chapter for annulling vows made by boys and young men; from which it has been inferred that the vows of males were in all cases and circumstances binding.

Numbers 30:2
“许愿”是积极的，“誓约”则是消极的或限制性的。人藉着许愿承诺将某物献给神，或为祂成全某工；藉着誓约，则使自己放弃某种特权或享受。许愿带来“当行”的义务；誓约带来“当禁戒不行”的义务。
英文原文
The "vow" was positive; the "bond" negative or restrictive. By a vow a man engaged to dedicate something to God, or to accomplish some work for Him: by a bond he debarred himself from some privilege or enjoyment. A vow involved an obligation to do: a bond, an obligation to forbear doing.

Numbers 30:3
“年幼还在父家的时候”——女子通常要到订婚或出嫁时，才从父亲的权下转到丈夫的权下（有人认为这种转移带有买卖的性质）。
英文原文
Being in her father's house in her youth - It was not ordinarily until her betrothal or marriage, that the female passed (some suppose by purchase) from the power of her father to that of her husband.

Numbers 30:5
“耶和华必赦免她”——即豁免她的义务。（参 2 Kings 5:18。）
英文原文
The Lord shall forgive her - i. e., shall remit the obligation. (Compare 2 Kings 5:18.)

Numbers 30:6
更准确地说，应译作："她若无论如何已经归属丈夫，她的愿在她身上，或是嘴里出了约束自己心灵的冒失言语"，云云。"无论如何"一语表明，这里特别想到的是已经许配、但尚未正式成婚的少女的情形。订婚之后，女子仍继续住在父家，直到婚期临到；然而从那时起，她的财产权便归于丈夫，而且她在人格上也如此被视为属于丈夫，以致对他不忠的行为，如同奸淫一样，可以被处死（Deuteronomy 22:23-24）。因此，甚至在丈夫实际迎娶她回家之前，他就有权约束她的愿。
英文原文
Rather, And if she shall at all be an husband's, and her vows shall be upon her, or a rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, etc. The "at all" intimates that the case of a girl betrothed but not yet actually married is here especially contemplated. After betrothal, a woman continued to reside, until the period of her marriage arrived, in her father's house; but her property was from that time forward vested in her husband, and she was so far regarded as personally his, that an act of faithlessness to him was, like adultery, punishable with death Deuteronomy 22:23-24. Hence, his right to control her vows even before he actually took her home as his wife.
关于许愿的条例紧接在献祭的条例之后，是很恰当的，因为许愿的内容总有相当一部分涉及呈献这类祭物。估价所许之物的规则早已在 Leviticus 27 颁布。这项特别处理受监护之人所许之愿的新立法，大概是由于最近发生了某个实际难题而有的；摩西把这律法晓谕“以色列支派的官长”（Numbers 30:1），他们要在司法职责上裁断这类问题。
本章没有为少年和青年男子所许之愿设立废掉的条款；由此可以推论，男性的愿在任何情况和处境中都有约束力。
