Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 35. - Thou hast brought me very low - literally, thou hast thoroughly bowed me down, i.e. with sorrow. I cannot go back. A forcible illustration of the evil of rash vows. He who makes them is so placed that he must sin. If he breaks his vow, he has taken God's name in vain; if he keeps it, he breaks one of God's commandments. So it was with Saul (1 Samuel 14:24, 39-45), with Herod (Mark 6:23); so it has often been since with those who have made unauthorised vows, and who in attempting to keep them have fallen into deadly sin.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(35) He rent his clothes.--Comp. Joshua 7:6. By one of the curious survivals which preserve customs for centuries after the meaning is gone out of them, every Jew on approaching to Jerusalem for the first time has to submit to the krie--i.e., to a cut made in his sleeve, as a sort of symbol of rending his clothes.Thou hast brought me very low.--Literally, crushing, thou hast crushed me.I have opened my mouth unto the Lord.--A vow was not deemed binding unless it had been actually expressed in words (Numbers 30:2-3; Numbers 30:7; Deuteronomy 23:23). There were two kinds of vows among the Hebrews--the simple vow, neder (Leviticus 27:2-27), and the "devotion," or "ban," cherem (Leviticus 27:28-29). Anything devoted to Jehovah by the cherem was irredeemable, and became "a holy of holies" (kodesh kadashim) to Him, and was to be put to death (Leviticus 27:29). . . .
