Now Jephthah 3316 the Gileadite 1569 was a mighty 1368 man of valour, 2428 and he [was] the son 1121 of an harlot: 802 2181-6 and Gilead 1568 begat 3205-55 Jephthah. 3316 |
| 2 |
And Gilead's 1568 wife 802 bare 3205-4 him sons; 1121 and his wife's 802 sons 1121 grew up, 1431-4 and they thrust out 1644-17 Jephthah, 3316 and said 559-4 unto him, Thou shalt not inherit 5157-4 in our father's 1 house; 1004 for thou [art] the son 1121 of a strange 312 woman. 802 |
| 3 |
Then Jephthah 3316 fled 1272-4 from 6440 his brethren, 251 and dwelt 3427-4 in the land 776 of Tob: 2897 and there were gathered 3950-101 vain 7386 men 582 to Jephthah, 3316 and went out 3318-4 with him. |
| 4 |
And it came to pass in process of time, 3117 that the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 made war 3898-11 against Israel. 3478 |
| 5 |
And it was so, that when the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 made war 3898-8 against Israel, 3478 the elders 2205 of Gilead 1568 went 3212-4 to fetch 3947-2 Jephthah 3316 out of the land 776 of Tob: 2897 |
| 6 |
And they said 559-4 unto Jephthah, 3316 Come, 3212-3 and be our captain, 7101 that we may fight 3898-11 with the children 1121 of Ammon. 5983 |
| 7 |
And Jephthah 3316 said 559-4 unto the elders 2205 of Gilead, 1568 Did not ye hate 8130-1 me, and expel 1644-17 me out of my father's 1 house? 1004 and why are ye come 935-1 unto me now when ye are in distress? 6887-1 |
| 8 |
And the elders 2205 of Gilead 1568 said 559-4 unto Jephthah, 3316 Therefore we turn 7725-1 again to thee now, that thou mayest go 1980-1 with us, and fight 3898-8 against the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 and be our head 7218 over all the inhabitants 3427-6 of Gilead. 1568 |
| 9 |
And Jephthah 3316 said 559-4 unto the elders 2205 of Gilead, 1568 If ye bring me home again 7725-56 to fight 3898-9 against the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 and the LORD 3068 deliver 5414-1 them before 6440 me, shall I be your head? 7218 |
| 10 |
And the elders 2205 of Gilead 1568 said 559-4 unto Jephthah, 3316 The LORD 3068 be witness 8085-6 between us, if we do 6213-4 not so according to thy words. 1697 |
| 11 |
Then Jephthah 3316 went 3212-4 with the elders 2205 of Gilead, 1568 and the people 5971 made 7760-4 him head 7218 and captain 7101 over them: and Jephthah 3316 uttered 1696-17 all his words 1697 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in Mizpeh. 4709 |
| 12 |
And Jephthah 3316 sent 7971-4 messengers 4397 unto the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 saying, 559-2 What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come 935-1 against me to fight 3898-9 in my land? 776 |
| 13 |
And the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 answered 559-4 unto the messengers 4397 of Jephthah, 3316 Because Israel 3478 took 3947-1 away my land, 776 when they came up 5927-2 out of Egypt, 4714 from Arnon 769 even unto Jabbok, 2999 and unto Jordan: 3383 now therefore restore those [lands] again 7725-54 peaceably. 7965 |
| 14 |
And Jephthah 3316 sent 7971-4 messengers 4397 again 3254-55 unto the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon: 5983 |
| 15 |
And said 559-4 unto him, Thus saith 559-1 Jephthah, 3316 Israel 3478 took 3947-1 not away the land 776 of Moab, 4124 nor the land 776 of the children 1121 of Ammon: 5983 |
| 16 |
But when Israel 3478 came up 5927-2 from Egypt, 4714 and walked 3212-4 through the wilderness 4057 unto the Red 5488 sea, 3220 and came 935-4 to Kadesh; 6946 |
| 17 |
Then Israel 3478 sent 7971-4 messengers 4397 unto the king 4428 of Edom, 123 saying, 559-2 Let me, I pray thee, pass 5674-4 through thy land: 776 but the king 4428 of Edom 123 would not hearken 8085-1 [thereto]. And in like manner they sent 7971-1 unto the king 4428 of Moab: 4124 but he would 14-1 not [consent]: and Israel 3478 abode 3427-4 in Kadesh. 6946 |
| 18 |
Then they went 3212-4 along through the wilderness, 4057 and compassed 5437-4 the land 776 of Edom, 123 and the land 776 of Moab, 4124 and came 935-4 by the east side 4217 8121 of the land 776 of Moab, 4124 and pitched 2583-4 on the other side 5676 of Arnon, 769 but came 935-1 not within the border 1366 of Moab: 4124 for Arnon 769 [was] the border 1366 of Moab. 4124 |
| 19 |
And Israel 3478 sent 7971-4 messengers 4397 unto Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites, 567 the king 4428 of Heshbon; 2809 and Israel 3478 said 559-4 unto him, Let us pass, 5674-4 we pray thee, through thy land 776 into 5704 my place. 4725 |
| 20 |
But Sihon 5511 trusted 539-52 not Israel 3478 to pass 5674-2 through his coast: 1366 but Sihon 5511 gathered 622-4 all his people 5971 together, and pitched 2583-4 in Jahaz, 3096 and fought 3898-11 against Israel. 3478 |
| 21 |
And the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 delivered 5414-4 Sihon 5511 and all his people 5971 into the hand 3027 of Israel, 3478 and they smote 5221-55 them: so Israel 3478 possessed 3423-4 all the land 776 of the Amorites, 567 the inhabitants 3427-6 of that country. 776 |
| 22 |
And they possessed 3423-4 all the coasts 1366 of the Amorites, 567 from Arnon 769 even unto Jabbok, 2999 and from the wilderness 4057 even unto Jordan. 3383 |
| 23 |
So now the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 hath dispossessed 3423-52 the Amorites 567 from before 6440 his people 5971 Israel, 3478 and shouldest thou possess 3423-4 it? |
| 24 |
Wilt not thou possess 3423-4 that which Chemosh 3645 thy god 430 giveth thee to possess? 3423-55 So whomsoever the LORD 3068 our God 430 shall drive out 3423-52 from before 6440 us, them will we possess. 3423-4 |
| 25 |
And now [art] thou any thing better 2896 than Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor, 6834 king 4428 of Moab? 4124 did he ever 7378-2 strive 7378-1 against Israel, 3478 or did he ever 3898-9 fight 3898-8 against them, |
| 26 |
While Israel 3478 dwelt 3427-2 in Heshbon 2809 and her towns, 1323 and in Aroer 6177 and her towns, 1323 and in all the cities 5892 that [be] along by the coasts 3027 of Arnon, 769 three 7969 hundred 3967 years? 8141 why therefore did ye not recover 5337-52 [them] within that time? 6256 |
| 27 |
Wherefore I have not sinned 2398-1 against thee, but thou doest 6213-6 me 853 wrong 7451 to war 3898-9 against me: the LORD 3068 the Judge 8199-6 be judge 8199-4 this day 3117 between the children 1121 of Israel 3478 and the children 1121 of Ammon. 5983 |
| 28 |
Howbeit the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 hearkened 8085-1 not unto the words 1697 of Jephthah 3316 which he sent 7971-1 him. |
| 29 |
Then the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 came upon Jephthah, 3316 and he passed over 5674-4 Gilead, 1568 and Manasseh, 4519 and passed over 5674-4 Mizpeh 4708 of Gilead, 1568 and from Mizpeh 4708 of Gilead 1568 he passed over 5674-1 [unto] the children 1121 of Ammon. 5983 |
| 30 |
And Jephthah 3316 vowed 5087-4 a vow 5088 unto the LORD, 3068 and said, 559-4 If thou shalt without fail 5414-2 deliver 5414-4 the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 into mine hands, 3027 |
| 31 |
Then it shall be, that whatsoever 3318-6 cometh forth 3318-4 of the doors 1817 of my house 1004 to meet 7125-2 me, when I return 7725-2 in peace 7965 from the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 shall surely be the LORD'S, 3068 and I will offer it up 5927-52 for a burnt offering. 5930 |
| 32 |
So Jephthah 3316 passed over 5674-4 unto the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 to fight 3898-9 against them; and the LORD 3068 delivered 5414-4 them into his hands. 3027 |
| 33 |
And he smote 5221-55 them from Aroer, 6177 even till thou come 935-2 to Minnith, 4511 [even] twenty 6242 cities, 5892 and unto the plain 58 of the vineyards, 3754|64 with a very 3966 great 1419 slaughter. 4347 Thus the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 were subdued 3665-11 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478 |
| 34 |
And Jephthah 3316 came 935-4 to Mizpeh 4709 unto his house, 1004 and, behold, his daughter 1323 came out 3318-6 to meet 7125-2 him with timbrels 8596 and with dances: 4246 and she [was his] only child; 3173 beside her he had neither son 1121 nor 176 daughter. 1323 |
| 35 |
And it came to pass, when he saw 7200-2 her, that he rent 7167-4 his clothes, 899 and said, 559-4 Alas, 162 my daughter! 1323 thou hast brought me very 3766-53 low, 3766-52 and thou art one of them that trouble 5916-6 me: for I have opened 6475-1 my mouth 6310 unto the LORD, 3068 and I cannot 3808 3201-4 go back. 7725-2 |
| 36 |
And she said 559-4 unto him, My father, 1 [if] thou hast opened 6475-1 thy mouth 6310 unto the LORD, 3068 do 6213-3 to me according to that which hath proceeded 3318-1 out of thy mouth; 6310 forasmuch 310 as 834 the LORD 3068 hath taken 6213-1 vengeance 5360 for thee of thine enemies, 341-6 [even] of the children 1121 of Ammon. 5983 |
| 37 |
And she said 559-4 unto her father, 1 Let this thing 1697 be done 6213-11 for me: let me alone 7503-54 two 8147 months, 2320 that I may go 3212-4 up and down 3381-1 upon the mountains, 2022 and bewail 1058-4 my virginity, 1331 I and my fellows. 7464|7474-k |
| 38 |
And he said, 559-4 Go. 3212-3 And he sent her away 7971-4 [for] two 8147 months: 2320 and she went 3212-4 with her companions, 7464 and bewailed 1058-4 her virginity 1331 upon the mountains. 2022 |
| 39 |
And it came to pass at the end 7093 of two 8147 months, 2320 that she returned 7725-4 unto her father, 1 who did 6213-4 with her [according] to his vow 5088 which he had vowed: 5087-1 and she knew 3045-1 no man. 376 And it was a custom 2706 in Israel, 3478 |
| 40 |
[That] the daughters 1323 of Israel 3478 went 3212-4 yearly 3117 3117 to lament 8567-15 the daughter 1323 of Jephthah 3316 the Gileadite 1569 four 702 days 3117 in a year. 8141 |
