Judges 11:27-40

11:27

Wherefore I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, but thou doest
<06213> (8802) <0853>

me wrong
<07451>

to war
<03898> (8736)

against me: the LORD
<03068>

the Judge
<08199> (8802)

be judge
<08199> (8799)

this day
<03117>

between the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:28

Howbeit the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Jephthah
<03316>

which he sent
<07971> (8804)

him.

11:29

Then the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon Jephthah
<03316>_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

Gilead
<01568>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and from Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>

he passed over
<05674> (8804)

[unto] the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:30

And Jephthah
<03316>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou shalt without fail
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

into mine hands
<03027>_,

11:31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever
<03318> (8802)

cometh forth
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of my house
<01004>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, when I return
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>

from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

shall surely be the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and I will offer it up
<05927> (8689)

for a burnt offering
<05930>_.

{whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and...: or, or I will offer it, etc}

11:32

So Jephthah
<03316>

passed over
<05674> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them; and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into his hands
<03027>_.

11:33

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them from Aroer
<06177>_,

even till thou come
<0935> (8800)

to Minnith
<04511>_,

[even] twenty
<06242>

cities
<05892>_,

and unto the plain
<058>

of the vineyards
<03754> (8677) <064>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

Thus the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

were subdued
<03665> (8735)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{the plain: or, Abel}

11:34

And Jephthah
<03316>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Mizpeh
<04709>

unto his house
<01004>_,

and, behold, his daughter
<01323>

came out
<03318> (8802)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him with timbrels
<08596>

and with dances
<04246>_:

and she [was his] only child
<03173>_;

beside her he had neither son
<01121>

nor
<0176>

daughter
<01323>_.

{beside...: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}

11:35

And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)

her, that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

my daughter
<01323>_!

thou hast brought
<03766> (0)

me very
<03766> (8689)

low
<03766> (8687)_,

and thou art one of them that trouble
<05916> (8802)

me: for I have opened
<06475> (8804)

my mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go back
<07725> (8800)_.

11:36

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My father
<01>_,

[if] thou hast opened
<06475> (8804)

thy mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

do
<06213> (8798)

to me according to that which
<0834>

hath proceeded
<03318> (8804)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_;

forasmuch
<0310>

as the LORD
<03068>

hath taken
<06213> (8804)

vengeance
<05360>

for thee of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

[even] of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:37

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

Let this thing
<01697>

be done
<06213> (8735)

for me: let me alone
<07503> (8685)

two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that I may go up
<03212> (8799)

and down
<03381> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

and bewail
<01058> (8799)

my virginity
<01331>_,

I and my fellows
<07464> (8675) <07474>_.

{go up...: Heb. go and go down}

11:38

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_.

And he sent her away
<07971> (8799)

[for] two
<08147>

months
<02320>_:

and she went
<03212> (8799)

with her companions
<07464>_,

and bewailed
<01058> (8799)

her virginity
<01331>

upon the mountains
<02022>_.

11:39

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that she returned
<07725> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

who did
<06213> (8799)

with her [according] to his vow
<05088>

which he had vowed
<05087> (8804)_:

and she knew
<03045> (8804)

no man
<0376>_.

And it was a custom
<02706>

in Israel
<03478>_,

{custom: or, ordinance}

11:40

[That] the daughters
<01323>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

yearly
<03117> <03117>

to lament
<08567> (8763)

the daughter
<01323>

of Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

four
<0702>

days
<03117>

in a year
<08141>_.

{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}
