VOWS 1) The general rule: Man is bound by the vows or oaths he makes as long as they are according to the Lords commandments. 2) The word "man" is repeated because whoever vows has to express his vow by uttering with his tongue beside by meaning it by his innerself. The repetition twice also symbolizes love [through love two become one]. Therefore a vow is worthless if it is not backed with love. 3) A daughter that vows within hearing of her father who doesn't rebuke her on the same day, then her vow will stand. The young daughter symbolizes the Old Testament Church that promised to obey the commandments but could not fulfill her vows (Exod. 42:3). 4) The wife's vows are also binding if they are made within her husband's hearing and he keeps his peace for the day. This signifies the Church of the New Testament who is bound to fulfill her vows with the consent of her Bridegroom's Spirit that He sanctifies and prepares her for eternal wedding. 5) The widow and the divorced both represent those who deny faith, the ones that are deprived of their Bridegroom's house would they be able to fulfill their vow?
