Before going out to combat the Ammonites, Judge Jephthah vowed that if Jehovah gave him the victory, the first person who would come out to meet him after the battle would be devoted to Jehovah’s service at the sanctuary.
Kohtumõistja Jefta tõotas enne ammonlastega lahingusse astumist, et kui Jehoova annab talle võidu, pühendatakse esimene inimene, kes talle kodus vastu tuleb, Jehoova pühamu teenistusse.
