By this verse it may appear, how sore Jephthah's daughters meeting of him 1did trouble him, as both by his word he testified, saying; Oh thou that shouldest have been my chief earthly comfort, thou (I say) art one that hast chiefly cast me down. Also by signs thereof he showed it, in that he cut his garments for sorrow, after the manner of the Hebrews, when they saw that some great calamity was suddenly befallen them, as in Joel and other 2places it appeareth. And he shows the reason, that he having vowed to offer her to the Lord, he might not (he said) go back: such was his ignorance, that he knew not there was liberty given by the Lord, in that case to redeem that which a man had vowed amiss.
