Judges 11:38-40
New International Version
38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39 After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.
From this comes the Israelite tradition 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

Birák 11:38-40
Hungarian Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
38-39 „Menj csak!” — mondta Jefte, és elengedte a leányát két hónapra a hegyek közé. Ő pedig elment a barátnőivel, és elsiratta velük együtt, hogy soha nem mehet férjhez, és nem szülhet gyermekeket — és valóban így is lett: Jefte leánya soha nem hált férfival.
Amikor letelt a két hónap, visszament apjához, aki teljesítette az Örökkévalónak tett fogadalmát.
A gileádi Jefte leányának emlékére szokássá lett Izráelben, 40 hogy a leányok minden évben négy napra elmennek, és megemlékeznek róla: énekelnek és siratják őt.
