The laws of vows in the Sedra to explore the relationship of the soul with G-d, comparing it to the bond between a betrothed couple. The insight is that the soul's relationship with G-d involves stages of deepening commitment, from betrothal to full marriage, just as the Jewish people's covenant with G-d has deepened through history.
