In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it denotes a binding obligation that an individual voluntarily undertakes, often involving abstention from certain activities or the dedication of oneself or one's possessions to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, vows were considered serious commitments that were not to be taken lightly. They were often made in times of distress or as expressions of devotion and gratitude. The making and keeping of vows were governed by specific laws, as outlined in the Torah, particularly in Numbers 30. Vows were a way for individuals to express their faith and reliance on God, and breaking a vow was seen as a serious offense.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
