Judges 11:36-38

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁶ She said to him, ‘My father, if you have opened your mouth to the Lord, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, now that the Lord has given you vengeance against your enemies, the Ammonites.’ ³⁷ And she said to her father, ‘Let this thing be done for me: Grant me two months, so that I may go and wander^[a] on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, my companions and I.’ ³⁸ ‘Go,’ he said and sent her away for two months. So she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
