miv.ta denotes a spoken utterance associated with vows or obligations placed upon a person’s soul.

The two attested uses place miv.ta within statements about vows and obligations bound upon a person’s soul; its specific English equivalent is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. Utterance connected with a binding obligation · dominant

    In Numbers 30:7, the construct-form noun occurs in the clause concerning her vows and an obligation bound upon her soul, while the APB renders the surrounding statement that these commitments “shall rise.” Numbers 30:9 likewise places it in a clause about what a widow or driven-out woman has bound upon her soul; the APB again presents the resulting obligation without isolating this noun in English.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding vow-and-obligation clauses in both verses but does not clearly mark a separate English rendering for this noun; it is therefore not possible to assign a precise translation equivalent.
