Judges 11:38-40

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ⁴⁰ Because of that, the young women of Israel now go into the hills for four days every year. They do that to remember the daughter of Jephthah, the man from Gilead.
