Judges 11:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah. He went across the territories of Gilead and Manasseh. He passed through Mizpah in the land of Gilead. From there he attacked the people of Ammon. ³⁰ Jephthah made a promise to the Lord. Jephthah said, “Hand the Ammonites over to me. ³¹ If you do, here’s what I’ll do when I come back from winning the battle. Anything that comes out the door of my house to meet me will belong to the Lord. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”
