Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 30:6

6 And if she had at all an husband when she vowed , or uttered ought out of her lips , wherewith she bound her soul;

To whose Will and Authority she was thereby made subject.

To wit, when she was in her Fathers house, as is evident by comparing v. 10. and this clause seems to be added by way of exception to that which was said, v. 3, 4. to signifie, that though she were in her Fathers house, yet if she were married, her Husband onely, and not her Father, could disoblige her from her vow.

Either 1. By way of vow, and so this clause explains and determines the former, i. e. if she express her vow in words. Or 2. By way of Oath, concerning which this same phrase is used Levit. 5. 4. and so this clause is distinct from the former, which the disjunctive particle, or, implies.

Marginal references: Heb. Her vows were upon her.
