Judges 11:34-39
34And when JephthahH3316 returnedH935 homeH1004 to MizpahH4709, thereH2009 was his daughterH1323 coming outH3318 to meet himH7122 with tambourinesH8596 and dancingH4246H7535! SheH1931 was his only childH3173; he had noH369 sonH1121 orH176 daughterH1323 besides herH4480.
35As soon asH1961 Jephthah sawH7200 herH853, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “NoH162! Not my daughterH1323! You have brought me to my kneesH3766! YouH859H1961 have brought great misery upon meH5916, for IH595 have given my wordH6475H6310 toH413 the LORDH3068 and cannotH3808H3201 take it backH7725.”
36“My fatherH1,” she repliedH559, “you have given your wordH6475 toH413 the LORDH3068. DoH6213 to me asH834 you have saidH3318H6310, forH310 the LORDH3068 hasH6213 avengedH5360 you of your enemiesH341, the AmmonitesH1121H5983.” 37She also saidH559 toH413 her fatherH1, “Let me doH6213 thisH2088H7503H4480 one thingH1697: Let me wanderH1980H3381 for twoH8147 monthsH2320 throughH5921 the mountainsH2022H595 with my friendsH7464 and mournH1058H5921 my virginityH1331.”
38“GoH1980,” he saidH559. And he sent her awayH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320.
So sheH1931 leftH1980 with her friendsH7464 and mournedH1058 her virginityH1331 uponH5921 the mountainsH2022. 39AfterH7093 twoH8147 monthsH2320, she returnedH7725 toH413 her fatherH1, and he didH6213 to her as he had vowedH5088H834H5087. And sheH1931 had neverH3808 had relationsH3045 with a manH376.
