Judges 11:36 in Context — Judges 11

34 Jephthé retourna dans sa maison à Mitspa. Et voici, sa fille sortit au-devant de lui avec des tambourins et des danses. C’était son unique enfant; il n’avait point de fils et point d’autre fille.

35 Dès qu’il la vit, il déchira ses vêtements, et dit: Ah! Ma fille! Tu me jettes dans l’abattement, tu es au nombre de ceux qui me troublent! J’ai fait un vœu à l’Éternel, et je ne puis le révoquer.

36 Elle lui dit: Mon père, si tu as fait un vœu à l’Éternel, traite-moi selon ce qui est sorti de ta bouche, maintenant que l’Éternel t’a vengé de tes ennemis, des fils d’Ammon.

37 Et elle dit à son père: Que ceci me soit accordé: laisse-moi libre pendant deux mois! Je m’en irai, je descendrai dans les montagnes, et je pleurerai ma virginité avec mes compagnes.

38 Il répondit: Va! Et il la laissa libre pour deux mois. Elle s’en alla avec ses compagnes, et elle pleura sa virginité sur les montagnes.
