Judges 11:29-33 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

29. And the Spirit of יהוה came upon Yiphtaḥ, and he passed through Gil‛aḏ and Menashsheh, and passed through Mitspeh of Gil‛aḏ. And from Mitspeh of Gil‛aḏ he passed on toward the children of Ammon.

30. And Yiphtaḥ made a vow to יהוה, and said, “If You give the children of Ammon into my hands,

31. then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall belong to יהוה, and I shall offer it up as a burnt offering.”

32. Yiphtaḥ then passed on toward the children of Ammon to fight against them, and יהוה gave them into his hands.

33. And he smote them from Aro‛ĕr as far as Minnith, twenty cities, and to Aḇĕl Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Yisra’ĕl.
