Judges 11:38 in Context — Judges 11

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.

39 Au bout des deux mois, elle revint vers son père, et il accomplit sur elle le vœu qu’il avait fait. Elle n’avait point connu d’homme. Dès lors s’établit en Israël la coutume

40 que tous les ans les filles d’Israël s’en vont célébrer la fille de Jephthé, le Galaadite, quatre jours par année.
