Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances, she was his only child.
When he saw her, he rent his clothes and said, Alas, my daughter!
You have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me, for I have opened my mouth to the lord, and I cannot take back my vow.
She said to him, my father if you have opened your mouth to the lord, do to me according to what has gone forth from your mouth, now that the lord has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites.
She said to her father, let this thing be done for me, let me alone two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
He said, Go. He sent her away for two months, and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
At the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had made.
She had never known a man. And it became a custom in Israel that the daughters of Israel went year by year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
Beloved, please let keep on visiting for more updates.
Thanks for being with us.
