Judges 11:37-39

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁷ But please allow me to do this one thing. Let me walk in the hills with my friends for two months. I need time to be sad because I will die before I can marry a man.’

³⁸ Jephthah said, ‘You may go.’ He sent her away from home for two months. She and her friends walked in the hills. They wept together because she would never marry. ³⁹ After two months she returned to her father, Jephthah. He did what he had promised to the Lord. His daughter never married.
