34And JephthahH3316 cameH935 to MizpahH4709 unto his houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, his daughterH1323 cameH935 outH3318 to meetH7125 him with timbrelsH8596 and with dancesH4246: and sheH1931 was his onlyH7535 childH1121; besideH413 herH413 he had neitherH369 sonH1121 norH369 daughterH1323. 35And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when he sawH7200 herH413, that he rent his clothesH899, and saidH559, AlasH162, my daughterH1323! thou hast broughtH7725 meH413 veryH3766 lowH3766, and thou art one of them that troubleH5916 meH413: for I have openedH6475 my mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, and I cannotH3808 goH7725 backH7725. 36And sheH834 saidH559 unto him, My fatherH1, thou hast openedH6475 thy mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068; doH6213 unto meH413 accordingH6310 to that whichH834 hath proceededH3318 outH3318 of thy mouthH6310; forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath takenH3318 vengeanceH5360 for thee of thine enemiesH341, evenH853 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 37And sheH2320 saidH559 unto herH413 fatherH1, LetH7503 this thingH1697 be doneH6213 for meH413: letH7503 meH413 aloneH7503 twoH8147 monthsH2320, that I may depart and goH3381 downH3381 uponH5921 the mountainsH2022, and bewailH1058 my virginityH1331, I and my companions. 38And he saidH559, GoH7971. And he sentH7971 herH7971 awayH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320: and sheH1931 departed, sheH1931 and herH7971 companionsH7464, and bewailed herH7971 virginityH1331 uponH5921 the mountainsH2022. 39And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of twoH8147 monthsH2320, that sheH1931 returnedH7725 unto herH413 fatherH1, who didH6213 with herH413 accordingH413 to his vowH5088 whichH834 he had vowedH5087: and sheH1931 had notH3808 knownH3045 manH376. And it was a customH2706 in IsraelH3478, 40that the daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 went yearlyH3117 to celebrate the daughterH1323 of JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 fourH702 daysH3117 in a yearH8141.
