Judges 11:37-39

Living Bible

³⁷ But first let me go up into the hills and roam with my girlfriends for two months, weeping because I’ll never marry.”

³⁸ “Yes,” he said. “Go.”

And so she did, bewailing her fate with her friends for two months. ³⁹ Then she returned to her father, who did as he had vowed. So she was never married.^[a] And after that it became a custom in Israel
