The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:21-23

A vow to the Lord, once made, was to be religiously kept; the Lord would require it, and to refuse or neglect to pay it would be held a sin. No one, however, was under any obligation to vow—that was to be a purely voluntary act. That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform … according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God of free-will ( נְדָבָה , spontaneously). (For the law concerning vows in general, see Leviticus 27:1-34 , and Numbers 30:1-16 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:21-23

Vows to God to be performed. The vow here made is supposed to be entirely voluntary. It was "a free-will offering." In Numbers 30:3-8 , abuse is guarded against. Yews made without the knowledge or consent of the father or husband were to be of no force. No priest had any warrant from the Mosaic institutes to come between a young woman and her father, or between husband and wife. Vows to God were to he completely spontaneous, as between the soul and God. They were not to he extorted by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:21-23

The place of vows. It is not obligatory to make vows; it is obligatory to fulfill them. We are often free to contract an obligation; we are not free to violate it. A man is not bound to marry; having married, he is bound to cherish his wife. I. VOWS IMPLY SPECIAL ACTS OF KINDNESS ON THE PART OF GOD . The ordinary course of God's bounty baffles verbal description. The forethought, the active energy, the well-laid plans, the unslumbering attention, the changeless... read more

Deuteronomy 23:21 ; Deuteronomy 23:23. Not slack Not delay; because delays might make them both unable to pay it, and unwilling too. A free-will-offering Which, though thou didst freely make, yet, being made, thou art no longer free, but obliged to perform it. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

A holy nation (23:1-25)Various laws prohibited foreigners, eunuchs and people born through immorality from joining fully in Israel’s public worship. This discouraged Israelites from copying heathen practices or marrying heathen people. At the same time it impressed upon them the holiness God required (23:1-8). Holiness also demanded high standards of cleanliness in the camp, particularly in matters concerning discharges from sexual organs and treatment of human excrement (9-14).Other features... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:21

"When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. But if thou shalt forbear to vow it shall be no sin in thee. That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth."When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine... read more

Ver. 19, 20. Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother, &c.— i.e. To an Israelite. See Exodus 22:25. But though they might not lend to Israelites, they are allowed to do so to strangers; for, as nothing was more reasonable, than that their neighbours the Sidonians, Tyrians, Egyptians, and others, who made great gain by merchandise, should not borrow money of the Israelites for nothing; so was it no less reasonable, that the Israelites themselves, whose chief profit was by husbandry, and... read more
