Numbers 30:2: "When someone makes a vow to the Lord or solemnly swear, they cannot violate His Word, but you will have to fulfill everything you said." This verse refers to the fulfillment of the vows made to the Lord, according to what was established in Leviticus 27.
Deuteronomy 23:21: "If you make a vow to the Lord, your God, you will be soon to fulfill Him, for the Lord thy God will surely ask you accounts, and sin there will be in you." Again, it is emphasized the importance of fulfilling the vows made to the Lord, according to what was established in Leviticus 27.
1 Samuel 1:28: "Therefore, now I dedicate Him to the Lord. For every day of his life, He will belong to the Lord." In this verse, Samuel's mother fulfills the vote she had made to the Lord to dedicate her son to divine service, which is similar to what is treated in Leviticus 27.
Ecclesiastes 5:4-5: "When you make a vote to God, you are not to fulfill Him; because you are not pleased with fools; what you vote, pays it. Better is not voting than votes and not paved."

Matthew 5:33-34: "Moreover, you have heard what has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear false, but thou shalt fully fulfill his oaths with the Lord. It's the throne of God. " In this verse, Jesus teaches about the importance of sincerity and honesty in relation to the vows and oaths made to the Lord, which is in line with what was established in Leviticus 27.
