Leave me alone for two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains and mourn for my virginity, I and my friends.” 38 And he said, “Go.” And he sent her away for two months. And she went, and her friends, and wept for her virginity on the mountains. 39 And it was at the end of two months that she returned to her father, and he carried out with her his vow that he had vowed. And she knew not a man. And it became a custom in Israel 40 that from time to time the daughters of Israel went to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in the year.
