THE FOURTH PART OF THE CHAPTER: Of the executing of his vow.
THE FOVRTH PART OF THE CHAPTER: Of the executing of his vow.
When Jephthah had gotten the victory, he returned home to Mizpeh, for 1there he dwelt: and therefore we heard before, that he made a league with the Gileadites, before the Lord in Mizpeh. And behold (for now I return to his vow) to the bewraying of his deep folly in making his forementioned vow) the first that came forth to meet him was his daughter, which so troubled him, that his joy for his triumph, was turned into most deep and bitter sorrow: but she, when she understood her fathers vow, submitted her self, only desiring a time to bewail her virginity. And he after her return, performed his vow on her. And it was a custom that the daughters of Israel went four times in the year to bewail her.
