Commentary: Numbers 30:12 "But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her."
When he committed adultery you were eligible to be divorced. Divorce is barely tolerated because of vows. He broke the vow with you; first.
It matters what the "grounds" were for the divorce.
You and your intended need to make an appointment with your Pastor, for counseling. It all needs to be sorted out before you initiate intimacy. It is wisdom to seek this counseling. To be informed before proceeding.
Children bear the scars emotionally in divorce; way into adulthood. It needs to be handled righteously for their sakes. They should not know all the details.
The original 1611 KJV, 400th Anniversary Edition (Zondervan) shows that "LORD" is capitalized in Numbers 30:5, and not rendered "Lord" as this online 1611 version indicates.
Matthew 18:21-35, Matthew 6:12,14, Mark 11:26, Luke 11:4, Leviticus 23, Leviticus 25, Numbers 30, Ecclesiastes 5:4,5, Ezekiel 18:7-32,
Deuteronomy 23, Proverbs 28:8, Psalms 15:5, Ezekiel 22:12,
how to understand this verse? can a father/husband void a vow at all?
or a father/husband confirmed the vow and daughter/wife failed to keep it, then father/husband shall bear her iniquity?
When he committed adultery you were eligible to be divorced. Divorce is barely tolerated because of vows. He broke the vow with you; first.

I hope this helps. Mishael
