But if he gainsay it after that he knew it, he shall bear her iniquity.

But if he in any way annul them after he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity.

and if he doth at all break them after his hearing, then he hath borne her iniquity.'

But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

And if he contradicted it only sometime after he had known about it, he shall bear his iniquity."

Quod si dissolvendo dissolverit, ea postquam audierit, portabit iniquitatem illius.

But if he shall any ways (k) make them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
(k) Not the same day he heard them, but some day after, the sin will be imputed to him and not to her.

But if he shall any ways make them void, after that he hath heard them,.... Some way or other expressing his dislike of them; not at the time he heard them, but some time afterwards; one day after, as the Targum of Jonathan:
then he shall bear his iniquity: be accountable for the breach of the vow, the sin shall be reckoned to him, and he shall bear the punishment of it, because he ought to have declared is disapprobation of it sooner; and it may be, his doing it when he did was only in a spirit of contradiction, or through covetousness; and it would have been more advisable to have let the vow stand, and therefore acted a criminal part, and so was answerable for it; the Targum of Jonathan explains it,"her husband or her father shall bear her iniquity,''supposing her not to be at age: Aben Ezra gives the reason of it, because she is in his power.

After he hath heard - And approved them by his silence from day to day, if after that time he shall hinder it, which he ought not to do: her non - performance of her vow shall be imputed to him, not to her.
