whatsoever: etc. Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth
shall surely: Leviticus 27:2-3, Leviticus 27:28-29; 1 Samuel 1:11, 1 Samuel 1:28, 1 Samuel 2:18, 1 Samuel 14:24, 1 Samuel 14:44; Psalms 66:13-14
and I will: or, or I will, etc. Wehaaleetheehoo olah:, rather, as Dr. Randolph and others contend, "and I will offer Him (or to Him, i.e., Jehovah) a burnt offering;" for hoo: may with much more propriety be referred to the person to whom the sacrifice was to be made, than to the thing to be sacrificed. Unless understood in this way, or as the marginal reading, it must have been the vow of a heathen or a madman. If a dog, or other uncleaned animal had met him, he could not have made it a burnt offering; or if his neighbour's wife, sons, etc., his vow gave him no right over them. Leviticus 27:11-12; Deuteronomy 23:18; Psalms 66:13; Isaiah 66:3
