Judges 11:29-31

International Standard Version

Jephthah’s Vow

²⁹ The Spirit of the Lord came^[a] on Jephthah, so he swept through Gilead and the territory of^[b] Manasseh, then swept through Mizpah in Gilead, and from Mizpah in Gilead he proceeded toward where the Ammonites were encamped. ³⁰ Jephthah made this solemn vow to the Lord: “If you truly give the Ammonites into my control, ³¹ then if I return from the Ammonites without incident,^[c] whatever comes^[d] out the doors of my house to meet me will become the Lord’s, and I will offer it^[e] up as a burnt offering.”
