Judges 11:34-39

34When JephthahH3316 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at 1MizpahH4709, beholdH2009, his daughterH1323 was comingH3318 out to meetH7122 him 2with tambourinesH8596 and with dancingH4246. Now she was his oneH3173 and onlyH7534 childH3173; besidesH4480 her he hadH369 noH369 sonH1121 orH176 daughterH1323.

35When he sawH7200 her, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “AlasH162, my daughterH1323! You have broughtH3766 me veryH3766 lowH3766, and you are among those who troubleH5916 me; for I have 3givenH6475 my wordH6310 to the LordH3068, and 4I cannotH3201H3808 takeH7725 it backH7725.”

36So she saidH559 to him, “My fatherH1, you have 5givenH6475 your wordH6310 to the LordH3068; 6doH6213 to me 7as you have saidH3318H4480H6310, sinceH310H834 the LordH3068 has avengedH5360 you of your enemiesH340, the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.”

37She saidH559 to her fatherH1, “Let thisH2088 thingH1697 be doneH6213 for me; letH7503 me aloneH4480H7503 twoH8147 monthsH2320, that I may 8goH1980H3381 to the mountainsH2022 and weepH1058 becauseH5921 of 9my virginityH1331, I and my companionsH7464.”

38Then he saidH559, “GoH1980.” So he sentH7971 her awayH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320; and she leftH1980 with her companionsH7464, and weptH1058 on the mountainsH2022 becauseH5921 of her virginityH1331.

39At the endH7093 of twoH8147 monthsH2320 she returnedH7725 to her fatherH1, who didH6213 to her according to the vowH5088 whichH834 he had madeH5087; and she 10hadH3045 noH3808 relationsH3045 with a manH376. Thus it becameH1961 a customH2706 in IsraelH3478,
