Jephthah’s daughter comes out to meet him with tambourines and with dances

입다의 딸이 소고를 잡고 춤추며 나와서 영접함

Judges 11:34–40: Jephthah comes to Mizpah to his house; and behold, his daughter comes out to meet him with tambourines and with dances. She is his only child. Besides her he has neither son nor daughter. When he sees her, he tears his clothes, and says, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I can’t go back.” She says to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the LORD; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon.” Then she says to her father, “Let this thing be done for me. Leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.” He says, “Go.” He sends her away for two months; and she departs, she and her companions, and mourns her virginity on the mountains. The text goes on, “At the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She was a virgin. It became a custom in Israel that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.” The Korean Revised Version reads 산에 올라가서 (go up on the mountains) at 11:37; at 11:39 it reads 딸이 남자를 알지 못하고 죽으니라, the daughter knew no man and died; and at 11:40 it has the daughters of Israel lament (애곡하더라) four days a year for the daughter of Jephthah.
