And [G2532] why [G5100] [is it] that [G3754] you came [G2064] to [G4314] me [G1473] now [G3568] when [G2259] you are afflicted [G2346]?
8: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] elders [G4245] of Gilead] to [G4314] Jephthah, Not [G3756] so [G3779], now [G3568] we gathered together [G4905] to [G4314] you [G1473], and [G2532] you will go with [G4848] us [G1473], and [G2532] we will wage war [G4170] against [G1722] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon, and [G2532] you will be to us [G1473] as [G1519] head [G2776] to all [G3956] the [G3588] [ones] dwelling [G2730] in Gilead.
9: And [G2532] Jephthah said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] elders [G4245] of Gilead, If [G1487] you return [G1994] me [G1473] to yourselves [G1473] to make war [G4170] against [G1722] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon, and [G2532] should deliver [G3860] Boss '[G2962] them [G1473] before [G1799] me [G1473], I [G1473] will be to you [G1473] for [G1519] head [ruler [G2776].

25: And [G2532] now [G3568] [any] better [G3361][G2908] are you [G1473] than [G5228] Balak son [G5207] of Sephor king of Moab? Did he [G3361] with battle [G3163] do combat [G3164] with [G3326] Israel, or [G2228] by war [G4171] wage war [G4170] with them [G1473]?
26: In [G1722] the [G3588] living [G3611] of Israel in [G1722] Heshbon, and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] her daughter [cities [G2364][G1473], and [G2532] in [G1722] Aroer, and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] her daughter [cities [G2364][G1473], and [G2532] in [G1722] all [G3956] the [G3588] cities [G4172] the [G3588] by [G3844] the [G3588] Jordan for three hundred [G5145] years [G2094] -- Why [G5100] [is it] that [G3754] you did not [G3756] rescue [G4506] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] that time [G2540][G1565]?
27: And I [G2504] sinned not [G3756] against you [G1473], but [G2532] you [G1473] do [G4160] with [G3326] me [G1473] wickedness [G4189] the [G3588] to wage war [G4170] against [G1722] me [G1473]. May BOSS judge [G2919][G2962], the [G3588] [one] judging [G2919] today [G4594], between sons [G5207] of Israel and [G2532] between sons [G5207] of Ammon.
28: And [G2532] would not [G3756] hearken to [G1522] king of sons [G5207] of Ammon] the [G3588] words [G3056] of Jephthah which [G3739] he sent to [G4314] him [G1473].
29: And [G2532] became [G1096] upon [G1909] Jephthah wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] [of the] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] he passed over [G1224] the [G3588] Gilead, and [G2532] the [G3588] Manasseh, and [G2532] he passed over [G1224] the [G3588] height of Gilead, and [G2532] from height of Gilead to [G1519] the [G3588] other side [G4008] of sons [G5207] of Ammon.
30: And [G2532] Jephthah vowed [G2172] a vow [G2171] to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] he said [G2036], If [G1437] by delivering up [G3862] you should deliver up [G3860] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon in [G1722] my hand [G5495][G1473],
31: then [G2532] it will be [concerning] the [G3588] [one] going forth [G1607], who [G3739] ever might come [G1831] from [G1537] the [G3588] doors [G2374] of the [G3588] my house [G3624][G1473] for [G1519] meeting me [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] my returning [G1994][G1473] in [G1722] peace [G1515] from the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon, that [G2532] it will be to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] I will offer him [G1473] a whole burnt-offering [G3646].
32: And [G2532] Jephthah passed over [G1224] to [G4314] sons [G5207] of Ammon the [G3588] to wage war [G4170] against [G4314] them [G1473]. And [G2532] delivered [G3860] them [G1473] Boss '[G2962] into [G1722] his hand [G5495][G1473].
33: And [G2532] he struck [G3960] them [G1473] from Aroer even [G2532] unto [G2193] the [G3588] coming [G2064] [to] Minnith -- twenty [G1501] cities [G4172], and [G2532] unto [G2193] Abel vineyards , beating [G4127] great [G3173] an exceedingly [G4970]. And [G2532] showed respect [G1788] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon] in front [G4383] [of the] sons [G5207] of Israel.
34: And [G2532] Jephthah came [G2064] to [G1519] Mizpeh to [G1519] the [G3588] his house [G3624][G1473]. And [G2532] look [G2400], the [G3588] his daughter [G2364][G1473] went forth [G1607] for [G1519] meeting him [G1473] with [G1722] tambourines and [G2532] dancers [G5525], and [G2532] she [was [G1473] an only child [G3439]. And [G2532] there was not [G3756] to him [G1473] besides [G4133] her [G1473] a son [G5207] or [G2228] daughter [G2364].
35: And [G2532] it happened [G1096] when [G2259] he looked [at] [G1492] her [G1473], that [G2532] he tore [G1284] the [G3588] his garments [G2440][G1473], and [G2532] said [G2036], Alas my daughter [G2364][G1473] you impede me [G1473], for [G1519] an impediment you became [G1096] in [G1722] my eyes [G3788][G1473], and [G2532] I [G1473] opened the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of me [G1473] concerning [G4012] you [G1473] to [G4314] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] I will not be able [G3756][G1410] the [G3588] to turn back .
36: And [G2532] she said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473], If [G1487] about [G1722] me [G1473] you opened the [G3588] your mouth [G4750][G1473] to [G4314] Boss '[G2962], let him do [G4160] to me [G1473] in which [G3739] manner [G5158] it came forth [G1831] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] your mouth [G4750][G1473], because did [G4160] for you [G1473] Boss '[G2962] vengeance [G1557] on [G1537] the [G3588] enemies [G2190] of you [G1473], of [G1537] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Ammon.
37: And [G2532] she said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] her father [G3962][G1473], And [G2532] do [G4160] to me [G1473] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778]! Allow [G1439] me [G1473] two [G1417] months [G3376] and [G2532] I will go [G4198] and [G2532] will come down [G2597] upon [G1909] the [G3588] raised-places (mountains) '[G3735], and [G2532] I will weep [G2799] over [G1909] the [G3588] tokens of my virginity [G1473], I [G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] my female companions [G1473].
38: And [G2532] he said [G2036], Go [G4198]! And [G2532] he sent her out [G1821][G1473] [for] two [G1417] months [G3376]. And [G2532] she went [G4198], she [G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] her female companions [G1473]. And [G2532] they wept [G2799] over [G1909] the [G3588] tokens of her virginity [G1473] upon [G1909] the [G3588] raised-places (mountains) '[G3735].
39: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] after [G3326] the [G3588] end [G5056] of the [G3588] two [G1417] months [G3376], that [G2532] she returned to [G4314] the [G3588] her father [G3962][G1473], and [G2532] Jephthah completed [G2005] the [G3588] his vow [G2171][G1473] which [G3739] he vowed [G2172]. And [G2532] she [G1473] did not [G3756] know [G1097] a man . And [G2532] it became [G1096] an [G1519] order in [G1722] Israel,
