Judges 11:29 in Context — Judges 11

27 Je ne t’ai point offensé, et tu agis mal avec moi en me faisant la guerre. Que l’Éternel, le juge, soit aujourd’hui juge entre les enfants d’Israël et les fils d’Ammon!

28 Le roi des fils d’Ammon n’écouta point les paroles que Jephthé lui fit dire.

29 L’esprit de l’Éternel fut sur Jephthé. Il traversa Galaad et Manassé; il passa à Mitspé de Galaad; et de Mitspé de Galaad, il marcha contre les fils d’Ammon.

30 Jephthé fit un vœu à l’Éternel, et dit: Si tu livres entre mes mains les fils d’Ammon,

31 quiconque sortira des portes de ma maison au-devant de moi, à mon heureux retour de chez les fils d’Ammon, sera consacré à l’Éternel, et je l’offrirai en holocauste.
