Dommerne 11,40
38 Han sa: «Gå.» Så sendte han henne bort i to måneder. Hun og hennes venner gikk opp i fjellene og gråt over hennes jomfruelighet.
39 Etter to måneder vendte hun tilbake til sin far, og han gjorde med henne som han hadde lovet. Og hun var jomfru. Fra dette oppstod en skikk i Israel,
at hvert år går Israels døtre ut i fire dager for å minnes datteren til Jefta, gileaditten.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
