The "house" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the designated place for sacrifices and worship. Burnt offerings were a type of sacrifice where the entire animal was consumed by fire, symbolizing complete devotion to God. This practice is outlined in <a href="/leviticus/1.htm">Leviticus 1</a> and was a way for the Israelites to atone for sin and express gratitude. The act of entering God's house with offerings signifies a deliberate approach to worship and a desire to honor God according to His commandments.<p><b>I will fulfill my vows to You—</b><br>Vows in the biblical context were solemn promises made to God, often in times of distress or need, with the intention of fulfilling them once God answered prayer or provided deliverance. The fulfillment of vows was a serious matter, as seen in <a href="/ecclesiastes/5-4.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:4-5</a>, which warns against making vows lightly. This phrase indicates a commitment to integrity and faithfulness in one's relationship with God. It also reflects the psalmist's gratitude and acknowledgment of God's faithfulness in answering prayer.

In the old world the strict performance of vows was always held to be one of the main obligations of religion. A vow was of the nature of a compact with God, and to break it was an act of flagrant dishonesty, from which men shrank. The Mosaic Law sanctioned vows of various kinds, as the vowing of children to the service of God (<a href="/leviticus/27-1.htm">Leviticus 27:1-8</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/1-11.htm">1 Samuel 1:11</a>); the vow of the Nazarite (<a href="/numbers/6-2.htm">Numbers 6:2-21</a>); and vows of clean or unclean animals (<a href="/leviticus/27-9.htm">Leviticus 27:9-13, 27-29</a>), etc. Clean animals, when vowed, must be either redeemed or sacrificed. The importance of performing vows is borne frequent witness to by the psalmists (see <a href="/psalms/22-25.htm">Psalm 22:25</a>; <a href="/psalms/50-14.htm">Psalm 50:14</a>; <a href="/psalms/56-12.htm">Psalm 56:12</a>; <a href="/psalms/61-8.htm">Psalm 61:8</a>; <a href="/psalms/65-1.htm">Psalm 65:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/116-14.htm">Psalm 116:14, 18</a>; <a href="/psalms/132-2.htm">Psalm 132:2</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/66-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will enter</span><br /><span class="heb">אָב֣וֹא</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·ḇō·w)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> </span><span class="str2">To come in, come, go in, go</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Your house</span><br /><span class="heb">בֵיתְךָ֣</span> <span class="translit">(ḇê·ṯə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> </span><span class="str2">A house</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with burnt offerings;</span><br /><span class="heb">בְעוֹל֑וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(ḇə·‘ō·w·lō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5930.htm">Strong's 5930: </a> </span><span class="str2">Whole burnt offering</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I will fulfill</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·šal·lêm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7999.htm">Strong's 7999: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be safe, to be, completed, to be friendly, to reciprocate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my vows</span><br /><span class="heb">נְדָרָֽי׃</span> <span class="translit">(nə·ḏā·rāy)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5088.htm">Strong's 5088: </a> </span><span class="str2">A promise, a thing promised</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to You—</span><br /><span class="heb">לְךָ֣</span> <span class="translit">(lə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/66-13.htm">Psalm 66:13 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/66-13.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 66:13 I will come into your temple (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/66-12.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 66:12"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 66:12" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/66-14.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 66:14"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 66:14" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
