Judges 11:34-40

34But JephthahH3316 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at 1MizpahH4709, and beholdH2009, his daughterH1323 was comingH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 him 2with tambourinesH8596 and with dancingH4246. And she was his oneH7534 and onlyH3173 childH3173; besidesH4480 her he hadH369 noH369 sonH1121 orH176 daughterH1323.

35So when he sawH7200 her, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and saidH559, “OhH162, my daughterH1323! You have broughtH3766 me disasterH3766, 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 justH3512 asH3512 7you have saidH3318H4480H6310, sinceH310H834 the LordH3068 has broughtH6213 you vengeanceH5360 on your enemiesH340, the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.”

37And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, “Let thisH2088 thingH1697 be doneH6213 for me; allowH7503H4480 me twoH8147 monthsH2320, so that I may 8goH1980H3381 to the mountainsH2022 and weepH1058 becauseH5921 of 9my virginityH1331, I and my friendsH7464.”

38Then he saidH559, “GoH1980.” So he letH7971 her goH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320; and she leftH1980 with her friendsH7464, and weptH1058 on the mountainsH2022 becauseH5921 of her virginityH1331.

39And at the endH7093 of twoH8147 monthsH2320 she returnedH7725 to her fatherH1, who didH6213 to her 10whatH5088 he had vowedH5087; and she 11hadH3045 noH3808 relationsH3045 with a manH376. And it becameH1961 a customH2706 in IsraelH3478,

40that the 12daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 annuallyH3117H4480 to 13commemorateH8567 the daughterH1323 of JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 for fourH702 daysH3117 in the yearH8141.
